I've also noticed that this tends to draw focus away from VoiceOver. Instead of restarting VoiceOver, try using one of the Orientation commands like VO-F1 and that always seems to regain voiceOver's focus. HTH On Mar 29, 2010, at 12:19 PM, Kimberly thurman wrote: > I began using the script for

FYI, ogg is not lossless, it's lossey compression. Tons of information are being discarded. Some people claim it sounds better than mp3 encoding but it's just not as widely supported. More importantly, the reason why it appeals to some is that there are no licensing fees. On Apr 2, 2010, at 4:1

Well, it's a bit unusual. You see, they don't actually sell the voices, per se. They do, however, offer a software developers' toolkit for that price and that includes all of the voices. I think there are something like 27 voices, if I remember correctly. The idea is, if you were to develop soft
