Re: multilingual use
You need to go to system preferences and click on customize, on the system voice popup menu. There you will find a table of voices taht you can download, but only if you are using lion. If you're on snow leopard you're goign to have to either upgrade or buy voices. Then on voice over you, once you have donwloaded the voices, control option command right and left arrow until you find voice and then down arrow. When you change a voice, the next time you hit ctrl option command down you will get the last voice you used. hth On 9/8/11, Rachel magario maga...@gmail.com wrote: Hello every one, but more in specific multiple language users.

Re: multilingual use
Hmm, is lion working pretty well so far? I was afraid to up grade and lose some of my productivity since I am right in the tornado of my thesis. Thanks for the info! Much appreciate it.

Re: multilingual use
Hello Rachel, Lion has its little problems, but on the whole, it's working OK. For multilingual users, Lion is great! It includes languages such as Chinese, Russian and Greek that don't use the Latin alphabet. Upgrading to Lion is much cheaper than buying additional language packs.

Re: multilingual use
Hello Rachel, For Snow Leopard and below, the only voices that work properly without crashing the system are the Infovox iVox voices made by Acapela and sold by Assistiveware. They cost €99 for the first language pack and €49.50 for subsequent packs. That's why I said you'd be better off upgrading to Lion where you can get as many voices as you like for no extra cost. I've been enjoying being able to add German, Spanish and Italian to my collection of voices. Previously, I just had English and French. I still prefer the Acapela voices, but probably wouldn't have bothered getting them had French voices been available from Apple. I remember you asked about VisioVoice. This is software for low vision users. I'm afraid I don't understand it very well, being totally blind myself. But my husband helps low vision users set up VisioVoice to their liking.

Re: multilingual use
Thanks Anne! I am totally blind my self too, maybe this is why I did not see much of a change when I installed visiovoice. I am thinking I will have to be courageous and up grade to lion here very soon. But, I'll see if my awesome mother let me test drive lion on her mac before I bring it on mine. If things go crazy on my computer during thesis, it would be horrible! But if lion behaves well, it might actually be a blessing, and things might run even better and somewhat more organized.

Hi, Just do a time machine backup before upgrading and you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

Re: multilingual use
Hello Rachel, I find it easier to download the voices from VoiceOver Utility, category Speech. Click the Default Voice menu button and go down to Customise. Press Return and navigate right to the search box where you can type in the language you want such as Spanish, and the appropriate voices will be shown in the table to the right. Interact with it and press VO-Space on the voice you want, then navigate right and click on OK. Software Update will be launched.
