VoiceOver memory usage query
Hi folks, I haven't done any research on this yet, but I'm curious. On this 2009 MacBook (though I'm sure the hardware is older), VoiceOver is currently using 134+ MB. Baring in mind that I only have 2GB of RAM in this machine, is this normal? For those of you who are curious, you can find out by launching Activity Monitor. The Real Memory column is the last one on the right of the table.

Re: VoiceOver memory usage query
James, Maybe you can switch to a smaller voice, like you can on IOS devices. I'm not sure of the difference, it may be like 8 KHZ instead of 48, or whatever the sizes are. I use the smaller one on my iPhone for better performance.

Re: VoiceOver memory usage query
Yeah it's quite normal. I sometimes just to free some up turn off vo and back on and it works but rarely do I have to do it. Good luck. incidentally mine is using 153.7 MB and i have 4 gigs. lol! but so far it looks to be normal. Again, good luck.
