Hey Tim, Yes, you are most likely right, patience patience patience, as my Mac Air which has 8 GB of RAM and pretty much nothing stored on it runs very well, so maybe the iMac is still doing stuff as some of my voices have even crapped out. I was using Samantha for a couple of hours and all of the sudden she started speaking as Alex. I went and checked Speech, and Samantha was still selected, but she was speaking as Alex. After about 30 minutes she went back to speaking as Samantha. Definitely strange stuff. On Jan 7, 2014, at 11:58 PM, Tim Kilburn <[email protected]> wrote:
