Ok, I think we agree. Yes, I agree that for non-English speakers it would be practical if Mac OS X included voices for their own language by default. However, as Scott pointed out, space on the DVD alone would already preclude all such voices to be high quality. All Infovox iVox voices together already pretty much fill up a dual layer DVD so there would be little space left for the OS :-) I also want to take this opportunity to point out that Apple does work with us and Acapela to ensure good compatibility of VoiceOver with the Infovox iVox voices (and visa versa) and foreign languages so Apple certainly cares about giving non-English users access to a good VO experience. david. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
