You may need to reassociate some mime file types with Quick Time to get the voice to play. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Lang Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2007 12:26 PM To: PC audio discussion list.

Hi Michael, You might like to try going to www.apple.com/macosx/leopard/features/accessibility.html.

High Frank, Tell us how to do that. I have been trying to figure out how to do that ever since I got IE7.

Hi, I also tried IE6 and it doesn't work either. *** Michael Lang *** You wrote: Hello, You have to enable the active x control. It's disabled by default in IE7.

Re: Apple's new Synth: Is there a demo of it on the net?
to the fellow that wants to know how to activate the active x controls with IE 7, you should hear a sound, like a blip or whatever, then a message should come up telling you about the information bar at the top of the screen. tab over and when you come to the close button, press the spacebar to close the information dialog. once closed, shift tab immediately until you hear a message about windows wanting to run what ever active x controls. once you hear this, you should be presented with a set of radio buttons which you can use the up and down arrows to decide whether to run the active x control or not. make your choice and hit the spacebar. someone else may have a better explanation as to how to install the active x control. I didn't get any warning about any active x control on the apple site either. - Original Message - From: DJ DOCTOR P [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: PC audio discussion list. pc-audio@pc-audio.org Sent: Sunday, July 29, 2007 3:15 PM Subject: Re: Apple's new Synth: Is there a demo of it on the net?

Apple's new Synth: Is there a demo of it on the net?
I heard from some people, who were very fascinated by Apple's new speech synth called Alex. There was a little demo of it on the net, but it seems to have disappeared. Does anybody here know a place, where one can hear it?
