Re: Acapella TTS voices on Mac OS X

I figured it out. Now, my question is, how can I change the setting to read numbers without saying each digit? For example I want Sharon to read ten fifteen instead of one zero one five. Thanks. Vaughn > On Nov 10, 2015, at 2:32 PM, Anders Holmberg wrote: > > Hi! > Do

I downloaded a voice to try but cannot figure out how to turn it on. It is in demo mode. How do I switch out from Alex to Sharon? I selected it from the VO voice selection but Alex is still talking. Thanks, Vaughn > On Nov 10, 2015, at 11:18 AM, Shawn Krasniuk wrote: > >
