Great hearing your ideas, Shawn.

You do have me at a disadvantage, however.  I don't know what you mean when you 
say Neural TTS engines.  I did not know they even existed, at least, not as 
such.

What exactly is a Neural TTS?  Is that Alex?

Hey Mark. Welcome back. Well for me I bought my M1 MacBook Air  at the 
beginning of the month and I'm still in love with her. I named her Diva. I 
named her after a certain girl I'm interested in. I don't have a lot of 
features I'd like to see, just a few fixes I'd like to see across all devices. 
First for the new macOS I'd like to see them bring back the ability to use the 
Neural TTS versions of the Siri voices with Voiceover. Why they took that 
feature away from us in Ventura is beyond me. That's why I downgraded this 
thing back to Monterey because Neural TTS beats the regular voices. They sound 
so real and I love it.
For iOS 17 I'd like to see them bring back the Premium Zoe voice. I know when 
iOS 16.0 was first in beta we had the voice but there were so many problems 
with it that they took it away  and now all we have is the enhanced version of 
that voice which doesn't really sound that great. I'm using the Tom voice for 
that reason and don't get me wrong, he's ok, but Zoe Premium is better.
I guess I kinda lied about not having any features I'd like to see added. In 
iOS 17 I'd love to be able to use the Neural TTS Siri voices with Voiceover. 
That's all though. Anyway, glad to see you're doing well Mark.

Regards
Shawn

You know, Violet, whenever I install a newer version of the OS, what I hope 
for, most of all, is for VoiceOver functionality not to be reduced or broken.

Hi Donna.  I agree with you and, yes, one should be able to play a workout to

I am so surprised that this is not the case.

The features Tracy mentioned would be nice, but ET also makes a good point. So, 
my wishlist would be:
Fix focus issues in IOS.  I find it very slippy.
Fix Voices in IOS. For me, they keep cutting in and out.
Add feature in Fitness that allows workouts to be played to an audio only 
device such as a HomePod.  Currently Fitness requires you to select a video 
output source, so the only way to play a workout to a HomePod is to do it 
through the Control Center, which is kind of a pain.
Cheers,
Donna

Hello, 2 little things I’ve thought would be useful:

A VoiceOver gesture, (say a 2-finger swipe right) in the messages window to 
send the composed message. Instead of locating the send button.

A VoiceOver gesture to spell the current word in focus. Often I’m on the web 
and want something spelled out. It takes many little steps to turn the rotor to 
word, flick to the one I want, then turn the rotor to character, flick letter 
by letter. A simple shortcut would be super useful.

Those are two little things off the top of my head. :)

Take care,
Traci

Re: Just a Quick Hello To Everyone on the List from Moderator Mark

2023-05-31 Thread bbsshawn via MacVisionaries
Hey Mark. Welcome back. Well for me I bought my M1 MacBook Air  at the 
beginning of the month and I'm still in love with her. I named her Diva. I 
named her after a certain girl I'm interested in. I don't have a lot of 
features I'd like to see, just a few fixes I'd like to see across all devices. 
First for the new macOS I'd like to see them bring back the ability to use the 
Neural TTS versions of the Siri voices with Voiceover. Why they took that 
feature away from us in Ventura is beyond me. That's why I downgraded this 
thing back to Monterey because Neural TTS beats the regular voices. They sound 
so real and I love it.
For iOS 17 I'd like to see them bring back the Premium Zoe voice. I know when 
iOS 16.0 was first in beta we had the voice but there were so many problems 
with it that they took it away  and now all we have is the enhanced version of 
that voice which doesn't really sound that great. I'm using the Tom voice for 
that reason and don't get me wrong, he's ok, but Zoe Premium is better.
I guess I kinda lied about not having any features I'd like to see added. In 
iOS 17 I'd love to be able to use the Neural TTS Siri voices with Voiceover. 
That's all though. Anyway, glad to see you're doing well Mark.

Regards
Shawn

Recovering a deleted mail bos from time machine

2023-05-31 Thread Paul Hopewell
Hello,
I am running Apple Mail on the latest Ventura on my 2020 Macbook Air.
back in December 2022 I accidentally deleted some but not all mail boxes which 
i would now like to recover from time machine. Is there any way to determine 
which mail boxes were backed up in time machine on say 22 December 2022so that 
I can compare this list with the current list of mail boxes and then recover 
the mail boxes which were deleted after that date.
Many thanks … Paul Hopewell

Re: Just a Quick Hello To Everyone on the List from Moderator Mark

2023-05-31 Thread 'Donna Goodin' via MacVisionaries
The features Tracy mentioned would be nice, but ET also makes a good point. So, 
my wishlist would be:
Fix focus issues in IOS.  I find it very slippy.
Fix Voices in IOS. For me, they keep cutting in and out.
Add feature in Fitness that allows workouts to be played to an audio only 
device such as a HomePod.  Currently Fitness requires you to select a video 
output source, so the only way to play a workout to a HomePod is to do it 
through the Control Center, which is kind of a pain.
Cheers,
Donna

Hello,
I don’t have any real preference for new features, but I would like to see

Looking forward to WWDC, as always.

Hi Mark,
   Rather than adding more features, I would much prefer the various 
OSs be made more stable. Ventura and iOS need to be more polished. 
Especially Voiceover voices.

Re: Just a Quick Hello To Everyone on the List from Moderator Mark

2023-05-31 Thread Traci Duncan
Hello, 2 little things I’ve thought would be useful:

A VoiceOver gesture, (say a 2-finger swipe right) in the messages window to 
send the composed message. Instead of locating the send button.

A VoiceOver gesture to spell the current word in focus. Often I’m on the web 
and want something spelled out. It takes many little steps to turn the rotor to 
word, flick to the one I want, then turn the rotor to character, flick letter 
by letter. A simple shortcut would be super useful.

Those are two little things off the top of my head. :)

Take care,
Traci

Just a Quick Hello To Everyone on the List from Moderator Mark

2023-05-31 Thread M. Taylor
Hello Everyone,

Seems as though it's been quite a while since I posted to the list so just
wanted to check in with you and see how everyone is doing with their Apple
devices.

I am looking forward to the WWDC 2023 keynote presentation, next week.

You know?  The only software feature that I really want added to the OS is
the ability to permanently save and organize iMessage content into folders.


Are there any features, accessibility-related or not, that you would like to
see introduced next week?

I hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to reading your replies.
