Well said, massimo.
And why don't we discuss the new international voices? I am italian, so,
just for a moment, I'll talk about italian voices. Well, we have Silvia
and Paolo. Paolo, the compact and the "premium version too, are
unbearable... I may say excruciating. Theyr prosody is more then
unnatural. Silvia and Paolo premium version perpetrate a considerable
number of pronunciation errors; in example, the italian word for "thing"
cosa becomes "csa", parola (word) becomes "parla" (he, she, it speaks!)
and so on! If exclamation marks exist, maybe, they are there for a good
reason. Scansoft voices, all of them, just ignore it. I mean... I do
not expect from a synthetic voice the performances of a brilliant
reciter, but, if and when an exclamation mark is there, I want to know
that. The random pitch changes affecting Scansoft voices is just another
bug Apple is aware of... And what about status menu? In snow leopard all
you could see and reach was the system icons like bluetooth, Wi-Fi
status, clock icon and battery status. What can you see in Leon, two
years later?
