Actually what I've noticed is at times they can speak at the same time with neither interrupting the other. This is random so it is possible, but something is causing the speech processes to step on each other. And this is why I'll be pestering Apple again and again about this.

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.

Is that true also if you set a different voice for the time? I set Kathy for that function. So if Alex is talking, will Kathy just talk also at the same time? Or will Alex stop so Kathy can talk. Or if Alex is talking,
will Kathy not be heard saying the time at all?

I guess I'm going to find out in about 4 minutes!

Thanks for this info, by the way. I never knew about it. handy little item
to know.

vo will interupt anything the system voice says when it speaks or, the
system voice will interupt vo sometimes.

Enjoy!
