Hi all. I was speaking to a friend last night whose friend also has an iPhone. Somehow, he uses VoiceOver with an English male voice instead of the default female voice. I searched briefly for text to speech on the iTunes store and found that Neospeech's Paul and Cate voices are available as

Not sure what it's doing but Safari is repeatedly doing requests to /cgi-bin/getsound.pl on the washington site. Repeatedly as in one or two requests per second over and over. This is being invoked in scripts.php on line 104. Not sure what that line does since they minified all the code to

Yup, the problem is squarely in Adobe's lap as they haven't (publicly) lifted a finger to get VO support in Flash. Of course on the iPhone there is no flash support at all even though the device has been around for a few years now. Makes me wonder if there isn't some non-technical issues

Hi, At least not all Facebook games are flash, though. Thankfully. I hope they'll eventually listen to the petition about flash accessibility on the Mac. Also, I'd imagine that, if flash was available on the iPhone, it'd pose the same potential security risks as it does on computers. Speaking

The onl suggestion I can give you is try pressing the left and right arrow keys together. Sounds to me as though you have turned on quick nav by accident which makes the arrow keys behave as though you are holdin down control and option. Dannie On 8 Jan 2010, at 02:00, Eleni Vamvakari
