Hi Anouk, You asked:

I think i > can deactivate voices in the system pref/speech menu but then they > are still not deleted I think. I googled "uninstalling cereproc voices" and got their FAQ page, with these instructions: CereProc voices installed on Macs can be uninstalled by going to System Preferences/CereProc Voices, clicking the voice to uninstall and then clicking the Uninstall button. I probably won't uninstall this voice right away -- I got the Cereproc Heather voice, and rather like the accent. I don't think it mispronounces words particularly, as Yuma noted. It's probably just the Edinburgh accent. It was useful to find out that others found the voice unstable with VoiceOver, since at one point VoiceOver stopped speaking entirely for me (as well as some problems with performance using the voice), and I had to restart everything. I wasn't sure whether it was the voice or another related trial software that I'd installed called Claroread for Mac. There were similar VoiceOver performance issues with the Cepstral voices early on in Tiger, so the feedback from you, Nicolai, and others will probably help. I notice that the FAQ page also gives a link for reporting bugs in the voices: http://www.cereproc.com/support/support_request I've never had a problem with the InfoVox iVox voices. > Openoffice consists of a directory and I guess it registered stuff > with os x.

In most cases simply moving the application bundle to the trash is sufficient to uninstall the app. There may also be a small plist (property list) file for the application in the Library/Preferences folder for your user account, or in the system's /Library/Preferences folder, that keeps track of the preferences you've set up. The few apps that actually need uninstallers will come with uninstallers. Again, googling about uninstalling Open Office provided the information that you can just move this to the trash: To uninstall applications on a Mac just drag them to trash. OO.o also has a user profile you should delete. It is located at: /Users/'your user name'/Library/Application Support/OpenOffice.org/2 HTH Cheers, Esther --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
