I find that which ever way you use to read email, regardless of the method, in Snow Leopard, there are unnatural pauses, where Voice Over pauses at the end of each line, making for a very disjointed reading experience.
This did not occur in Lepoard. Reading lengthy articles works great on the web, but it sure does not voice correctly in email. o Sep 8, 2009, at 2:46 PM, Christina wrote: > > Oh, I forgot to mention that since the upgrade to SL I am using vo > plus right arrow to get voice over to read the entire message.
