Real Speak daniel does it now and again, for me, but not too much. It doesn't do it with JAWs I don't think. I wonder what causes it. I'm replying to a lot of messages today because I am so impressed with how amazing Apple Mail is. Yes people, you heard me right! I am finally coming round to loving my Mac. I used to think of my Mac kind of like a young, attractive woman who I'm having an affair with. She was exciting, new and invigorating. But she doesn't do any jobs around the house, nor could I depend on her in a time of need like I could with my wife. My windows machine is my wife; she's a bit boring, she nags me a lot, but she's been long-term and she's generally dependable, if a little sluggish. So now and again I go trotting off to my fantasy woman (I.E. my Mac computer,) but I always come home when I need something from my wife, (my windows computer) because I can depend on her. Also my Mac is like a younger fantasy woman who I'm having an affair with because she is very expensive in comparison to my windows machine. Let's be honest, I had to buy my fantasy woman's love. If I didn't splash the cash she wouldn't give me the time of day.
Shall we stop the metaphor there? I'm starting to get emotional. By the way, I don't have a wife, nor am I dating a young attractive woman. Nor do I get up to anything sinister with my Mac, nor with my windows machine. Well … nothing much anyway. O come on! I'm not the only one! Sorry for the long email that didn't really help. I'm just so impressed by th speed with which I can use Apple Mail and how easy it is to reply and send emails. I will not make a habit of rambling messages that don't answer the question, but if you're the kind of person who gets annoyed by that kind of thing then let me alleviate any annoyance you might be feeling by alerting you to the fact that I am using this lengthy email as a way for you to test how many times Real Speak voices fluctuate into different pitches while reading it. So yes, this email is a sort of scientific experiment. If you all press VO A to read the whole message and report back how many times our real speak voices did odd pitch changes and where they happened, then perhaps we will identify some kind of trend. I'm sure there's some of you who believe I've just made that last bit up to justify my rambling long message, but then you would say that wouldn't you. That's just the kind of person you are. Incidentaly, I just read the message back with Real Speak Daniel using VO A to read all, and it didn't do a random pitch change once. So perhaps it only happens when you cursor through things. Is anyone else finding that is true? You see, there was a point to my message after all. The End! On 16 Oct 2011, at 11:27, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: > Hey guys.
