Hi Cheryl,
I haven't experienced this myself, but I think I may understand what they mean.

other apps try to speak using the system voice. Visiovoice was just their

I prefer ClickToPlugin, since it does everything that ClickToFlash does and
more. If it's audible you are concerned about, you will have exactly the same
