Re: an observation: nuance voices on os x being rather sluggish?

Besides, the chipmunk glitch with the Nuance voices in Mountain Lion has been fixed. Now, it just sounds like a chipmunk when it comes across data detectors or if you have it set to do a pitch change for capital letters. They sound like a giant when you go to an edit field or again, if you have
