more hq voices

2012-12-30 Thread Mary Otten
I just got the pro forma reply from Apple accessibility, stating that they'll 
pass my suggestion for allowing more than one hq voice to the appropriate 
people. So I suppose if this is something that interests you, sending them more 
requests will let them know there are several folks who would like this to be 
done.

Re: more hq voices

Mary and all,

When we say HQ voice, do we mean the native voice in which Voiceover defaults 
when you get your iOS device? If so, this suggestion would be wonderful for all 
Apple devices, including Mac.

Re: more hq voices

2012-12-30 Thread Mary Otten
Hi Ben,
The hq or high quality voices are the ones, of which you get one, your default 
language, after your ios device is up and running. The hq voice for your 
default language is downloaded and you then have a choice of the hq or the 
compact voice for that language, but only compact voices for all other 
languages. 

On the Mac, starting with Lion, you had the chance to download voices for other 
languages if you wanted to do that. I'm still on Snow Leopard, and I like Alex 
anyway for English. But for languages other than English, starting with Lion, 
you can get the Nuance Vocalizer voices in a whole bunch of languages. Hope 
that helps.

Mary
