lol, So, you feel that this issue would have a meaningful impact on the education of a large number of kids who might be using a Mac? After all, unless they are speaking a language not english of course, they could use Alex where the problem doesn't seem to exist. Keep in mind, 2 years ago, this is what they would have been doing regardless?
To be clear, I'm not saying the new voices don't need work. But honestly, I would put that pretty low on the list of accessibility issues I'd like to see addressed. For example, I think accessibility on Safari could be tightened up a bit. I would love to not to be bounced out the html area into the toolbar 50% of the time I click on a link. Just my 2 cents. :) Ricardo Walker [email protected] Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Apr 18, 2013, at 10:41 AM, Sandi Jazmin Kruse <[email protected]> wrote: > hi Anne, i dunno but after you have mailed apple accessibility a few > times without getting a answer you tend too roll your own. > I am sure i am not the only one who have mailed A A , about the > problem with the newer voices, but they may not be sure how too > address it. > I wont say i know of a easy fix for it either, but if we keep having > this kind of problems how can we expect too have macs used in the > school for say, kids? > > > best > sandi > > > On 4/18/13, Teresa Cochran <[email protected]> wrote: >> I tried this, and I'm only getting a pitch-change with Alex.
