How do you get to the Nuiance voices? -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of chalt...@gmail.com Sent: Monday, June 29, 2020 7:37 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Siri problem
I'm not sure what is meant by VoiceOver being much clearer then JAWS. If you're talking about the speech synthesizer then you can switch to the Nuance voices with JAWS, which are the same voices used by Apple, at least for the most part. Plus, clarity in a speech synthesizer is a highly subjective opinion, and there are many who feel Eloquence, the default speech synthesizer with JAWS, is quite clear and responsive. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Gmail > -----Original Message----- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of > Carolyn > Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2020 8:01 PM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: RE: Siri problem > > And, I think it is much clearer than JAWS that costs dearly. > > -----Original Message----- > From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On > Behalf Of Richard Turner > Sent: Sunday, June 28, 2020 6:08 PM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: Siri problem > > I agree with your rant; and I'll add my own. > VoiceOver is free. > You get amazing accessibility, and it does not cost a cent more. > Bugs exist in all software, get over it. > If you use a Windows computer, you have to spend a heck of a lot more > for good accessibility; and there are bugs there too. > And, while I'm on the subject, the free screen readers for Windows do > not hold a candle to VoiceOver on the iPhones or iPads. > > > > > > > Richard > "He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must > pass himself,” and we forget that only grace can break the cycle of > ancient hatreds among peoples.
