I thought all of it is synthesized out of models they make of her voice, otherwise it would only be able to speak the limited amount of words they prevoiced. - Original Message - From: Troy Sullivan To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 7:05 PM

Anna, There is something that is still confusing me about what you say. At what point in this process do I select handwriting on the rotor? Right now I am on the home screen. If I select handwriting on the rotor from there, I cannot go into settings; the entire screen is devoted to and writing.

I think Susan was actually speaking the words. There were know words she mispronounced. I now use the male voice instead. I wonder what his name is. It's hard to refer to him as Siri. Neal From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Brent Harding Sent:

Hi Kerry, When you restore from a backup your apps are not actually restored to your phone. What is restored is the settings and home screen layout and this means the phone knows these apps should be on the phone and they show, but after the restore finishes it is best to leave your phone plugged

Hi Sandy, If you activate/turn the rotor to handwriting on the home screen, any letters you write on the screen will narrow down your apps to those that start with that letter. A good one to try is C since there are a lot of apps that start with C, you will most likely get Calculator, Calendar,

Hi Tara, I can't really tell you what you are doing or not doing to bring up the control center, but you should definitely be able to bring it up if you touch the time in the status bar and then do a 3-finger swipe up the screen similarly how you do a 3-finger swipe down the screen to bring up

Hi Neal, Siri just used to use the Samantha TTS. Now it uses a new one that's proprietary to Siri, but in either case, it's TTS. Susan Bennett actually confirmed this in the article you linked to on the list, where she mentioned the recordings were made back in 2005. In the UK and other English

Hi Sandy, You don't need to have the rotor on handwriting to get handwriting help. You do need to have selected it so that it can appear on the rotor, but you can have the rotor set to anything you like when you go to VoiceOVer settings and double-tap the VoiceOver Practice button. HTH, Anna

Hi, If you are restoring from iTunes, then the apps will be copied from your computer to your phone. However, this could take a while. Keep your phone connected to your computer, and they should finish copying eventually. You can check the progress by going to the LCD section in iTunes. Best,
