and when you are happily reading along and it comes time to announce the time, vo is stopped in its tracks.
It is not a bug that can be easily fixed I'm affraid. It is not unlike what happens if you are trying to read something with jaws and some progress announcement stops you. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janet and Felix *" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by theblind" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 6:34 PM Subject: RE: time announcements and the Mac os: Well that's a bug that needs fixing. Yes, that's what happened. I changed the voice to Victoria for the time announce. And then Alex rudely cut her off before she could say all of 3:30. Victoria only said 3 and was cut off by Alex. janet _________________________________ i'm EMAILING FOR THE GREATER GOOD Join me http://im.live.com/Messenger/IM/Home/?source=EML_WLHM_GreaterGood ---------------------------------------- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: time announcements and the Mac os: > Date: Sat, 9 Aug 2008 18:30:38 -0400 > > they interrupt each other. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Janet and Felix *" > To: "General discussions on all topics relating to the use of Mac OS X by > theblind" > Sent: Saturday, August 09, 2008 6:26 PM > Subject: RE: time announcements and the Mac os: > > > > Is that true also if you set a different voice for the time?
