Well, my Mac came with mountain lion, so I don't know what the good about snow leopard is. I do wish the speech server was more responsive, which can be tested by noticing the time between the VoiceOver sounds and speech. On Jul 26, 2014, at 2:51, Christopher Hallsworth

If your Mac journey starts with Lion, then I'd agree that anything subsequent is a vast improvement. Of the three released since Lion, I think ML has proven to be the least annoying and most stable, but Mavericks will probably prove less frustrating at the current rate of VoiceOver instability
