Re: Alex Voice
Mike, It helps to know there is only the one version, thanks. That is where I have trouble. I've tried to edit the speech rate there but the changes never stick. The rate I had in prior versions was 39.4 and is what is displayed. But I am unable to change this at all, like 39.2. I must be missing something. There is no save button, just an ok button.

Re: alex voice question from another list?
Hi Karen. This was a bug in Sierra which I think was 10.12 or later. It wasn't fixed until High Sierra which was 10.13. I can't remember if the 2010 Mac Minis were able to be upgraded to High Sierra but if they can and the person really wants to be able to use Alex, I would upgrade to High Sierra. If they can't, then the Mac will keep crashing unless they use a different voice other than the Mackentalk voices. By Mackentalk I mean Alex, Fred etc. Other voices such as Nuance or Acapela didn't crash the Mac in Sierra. HTH.

Re: Alex voice
Hi, that's not what they meant. They are saying, if you don't have a 5S, you can not get Alex on your iPhone. It will only work on Apple devices with a 64 bit processor. 5S, iPad mini retina, and the iPad air. And of course, the iPhone 6 and 6+ come tomorrow. hth Ricardo Walker rica...@appletothecore.info Twitter:@apple2thecore www.appletothecore.info On Sep 18, 2014, at 8:29 AM, Jessica Moss junglebookfa...@gmail.com wrote: That's interesting, I thought sense the 5s is a newer phone, it would support Alex, so you have to upgrade to the 6, in order to get support for him?

I have no typing echo as Alex was never able to keep up with me.

Why would anyone want to have a typing echo at all, unless one were learning the keyboard for the first time? In which case, the lag won't really matter, as typing speed will be negligible. For anyone typing faster than 50-60 WPM, much less 120 or so which most people type at, having typing echo set to anything other than nothing is just annoying and inefficient. • Mark BurningHawk Baxter • AIM, Skype and Twitter: BurningHawk1969 • MSN: burninghawk1...@hotmail.com • My home page: • http://MarkBurningHawk.net/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups MacVisionaries group.

Re: typing at fast speeds with the Alex voice ...
I use Samantha compact. When I first got my Mac last year, I tried Alex for a month or so, but couldn't get use to him. It was one thing I missed from my windows screen reader, being able to set different rates for keyboard, screen, mouse. If it was an option, I'd probably have Sam-Compact for keyboard, and Alex for reading. :) Traci Sent by Macbook Air Mail On Oct 3, 2012, at 9:15 AM, Mark Baxter markbaxte...@gmail.com wrote: Why would anyone want to have a typing echo at all, unless one were learning the keyboard for the first time?

Re: typing at fast speeds with the Alex voice ...
lol, you honestly think most people type at 120 wpm? I definitely don't think so. I bet the average typing speed is somewhere around 45wpm.

You can do this in the VoiceOver Utility. Check the additional voice options in the voices tab of the speech category. Christopher Hallsworth On 03/10/2012 17:23, Traci wrote: I use Samantha compact.

Re: typing at fast speeds with the Alex voice ...
Not really. You can't change, for instance, the voice used in a say all command versus the voice used when reading line by line. Yes, you can change the voice for things like typing, content, menus, and so on, and you can set up activities to use voices in different apps, but there is no way to set the rate and voice for say all reading. If I missed it, please let me know. On Oct 3, 2012, at 2:29 PM, Chris christopher...@gmail.com wrote: You can do this in the VoiceOver Utility.

typing at fast speeds with the Alex voice ...
Hello, I have noticed that typing very quickly on my Mac using Alex that it is not very responsive (not keeping up as I type). Now, I do have keyboard speech set to echo characters. Switching to Samantha seems to be a bit better but I was just curious what others impressions are as far as a good voice that is very responsive (even if purchased)?
