I have it set on 50 which is the default. wonder what would happen if I set it
to 100. h. 50 is quite nice, it has a lot of expression no matter which
voice I use. what do others think though?

I think 100, in any case, is overkill. I'm not even sure why they have that
ability. But, its nice that we can configure many aspects of the voices.

I use 45. I may try it with 100 and an exciting novel. It might be fun. :)

Alex on 55 and Stine Compac on 70. It is very different because Alex talk very
fast already at 55. Stine Compact at 55 sounds tired. But, often i read one
word at a time to get it or slow down. It is boring to explore/browse OSX or
general internet surfing at slower rate, but my 50 years old
Hi all, I understand what the pitch is in the VO utility but could someone
explain what does the intonation do when changed?
Thank you

intonation is how much expression the voice has, how much it rises and falls.
If you set it to 0, you get a robot voice.

Hey everyone. The Nuance voices are tolerable, but I wouldn't use them all the
time. As for Acapela, I've lost interest of them because their voices, as I've
said, don't sound as good as they used to. They took away too much from the
voices. I like how I was able to get someone on here hooked
Hey it's me again, I forgot one thing. Alex and Mary, I found out that if you
have a copy of Snow Leopard, you can copy the better-sounding Alex voice and
use it on Mountain Lion. I recently downgraded because I only had Fusion 3 but
had to upgrade again to ML because I had too much problems
Hi all,
I haven't used the nuance voices except for foreign languages. For my English
voice I use Victoria, and I've found that to be a very good choice for me.
Just something to try for those of you who, like me, don't care for Alex.
Cheers,
Donna

Thanks, Shawn, for that tip about keeping the better Alex voice when you get a
Mac running ML. I am still using Snow Leopard, so will definitely need to copy
out that speech file when I get a new Mac. I really like the SL Alex.

I feel kind of dumb asking but what is intonation when choosing voice
preferences. I understand speed and pitch but I don't understand intonation.
Thanks,

In a brief test, it did not seem to do anything. I am pretty sure that the
Nuance voices do not honor the intonation setting. I have not tried Alex or any
of the older voices though.

Alex and the others do honor entonation changes, although it sounds a bit odd.

Well, I still like Alex over any other U.s. English voice available on the Mac.
If Ivona were on the Mac, I would have a different opinion, but it isn't, so be
it. I'm still using Snow Leopard, so perhaps Alex changed for the worse on
newer versions of the os. I'm just not taken with the A
Voices preferences are such an individual thing that I think a person just has
to try different voices and make a decision. I personally don't like Nuance -
at least the US English voices - but some people really like those voices, and
you can find people who really like Alex and people who
Agreed. I don't like American Nuance either, that's why I prefer Serena
(British) or Lee (Australian). Here's how odd my tastes are: if I had my way,
I'd be using eSpeak with Voiceover on my iPhone and mac. Yes, eSpeak. If you
