Punctuation issue when you change the language

Dear MacVisionaries, I use several languages on my Mac (High Sierra). When I switch to the language other that my default (system) language , the new synthesizer still tries to pronounce all the punctuation in system language. Sounds sometimes really weird. Is there any way to change it? E.g.

Donna, When I ordered my 10 I was told it would ship between December 8 to 15. I got a notice the other day saying I should get it by the end of this week! I can hardly wait. Eileen From: Donna Goodin Sent: Monday, November 27, 2017 6:22 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re:

Hi Christine, Yes I'm getting the same thing just after the first product in the search! :( I remember when this came up a while back someone suggested changing something in the develop menu but can't remember what? I'm using a mac book air and Sierra. Need solutions? Chuck "God does not play

Re: Punctuation issue when you change the language

Hello Alex, I don’t know whether you can do anything about this using third-party voices, but with the ones from the appstore, I haven’t found a way to do this. I haven’t yet installed High Sierra on my personal computer, but the one we use for teaching has it and I hate the way it handles

Re: Well, I caved. lol

Hey Kliph, It's really good to hear your rave reviews. I do agree, when I saw the phone on Saturday, I was surprised by how much I liked the form factor. It's supposed to ship on Dec 13, keeping fingers crossed that it ships a little earlier. :) Cheers, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 11:35

Thanks, Simon. I may well do that. I'm likely to get the phone right before we travel for the Christmas holidays, so will want it to work smoothly and without much fuss. Cheers, Donna > On Nov 26, 2017, at 11:56 PM, Simon Fogarty wrote: > > Hi Donna, > > I'd say you'll

How to clear up some space on my startup Disk

Hi, I’m having trouble with using my Windows 10 virtual machine on my Mac Book Air, apparently still in El Capitan and not the latest VMWare Fusion update. I was told that the startup disk is almost full so VMWare won’t always let me use it. I went into library/app support/, etc, and deleted

Re: How to clear up some space on my startup Disk

Sharon, Sounds like you need to do some serious housekeeping. Ok, first, empty the trash. Until you do so, the space is not reclaimed. Then, open VMware Fusion, go to its preferences, Under the General tab find the clean disk button to reclaim the VM's space. This should be done on a

I guess that is what I’ll have to do. I cleared cookies and it is still happening. It seems to be related to reviews: there is a ratings distribution for number of stars and a close button, but they never disappear. I am using the Safari and High Sierra; perhaps I’ll try another browser. Glad
