I Have Lion Running; My Impressions
hi, all, Just a word before you install an upgrade: make sure you are aware that speech will stop once you restart the -puter and won't restart till the VO updates are installed. For me, this took about forty-five minutes, then the -puter restarted again and VO came up speaking in the login window. Meanwhile, I was sweating bullets. I like Alex better; he seems to have been improved somewhat, and I can make his pitch lower. Mail requires setup as well if you have messages to be migrated. Just my preliminary impresνs here.

During the install you can turn VO back on and have a full talking installation just like you do on first install.

Re: I Have Lion Running; My Impressions
Hi SHannon, When I upgraded, my messages were not lost. They are in IMAP folders, so that might have something to do with it, but I doubt it. Apple wouldn't force you to lose messages that way.

Re: I Have Lion Running; My Impressions
Zackery, You're exactly correct. It doesn't matter. I have my gmail set via pop3, and so do I with my RoadRunner, and in both cases, it is fine. I wish that Alex was a little bit more responsive with typing key echo, but aside that… one thing I do wonder is in Mail, how do you turn the auto spell correction feature off? It's driving me to drinking! Chris. On Jul 20, 2011, at 12:29 PM, Zachary Kline wrote: Hi SHannon, When I upgraded, my messages were not lost.

Re: I Have Lion Running; My Impressions
Hey all. I'd like to share my impressions of this wonderful OS as well. I like the new voices, including Samantha. Yes, you heard me, I like the Samantha voice very much. And I like that I can use it the same way I used Snow Leopard. I thought that I'd have to reply on the track pad for everything. I've noticed a couple of bugs though. The first, well I don't know if this is really a bug, but when starting it up it's a slow startup. Also, when I was reading all of your messages, I've noticed that once in a while Samantha would kinda talk in a chipmunk voice here and there. I don't know if this is the case with the other Nuance voices, but hopefully this bug will be fixed soon. All in all, this is an awesome OS!

Re: I Have Lion Running; My Impressions
Hi, I can add to this about the vo 45 minute update, you can press command f5, and you'll get the Fred voice which then you can see your install and update progress.
