Hey guys. I don't know if any of you guys noticed but when using the Nuance
voices with Voice Over in Lion 10.72, the bug with the freaky pitch changes has
gotten worse. I like using Samantha a lot and it would be too bad if I had to
use Alex for everything because of this bug. So I'd like to

Hum. See, I actually know people who resist the mac because they can't have the

That's my problem with Alex the minute you speed him up, he just breaks up and
