[DM-MUG] VoiceOver Improved in Leopard

[Matthew W.]

Hello all,

Regarding the WWDC keynote VoiceOver Text-to-speech improvements...

Last year, a blind friend of mine, frustrated with Windows and the  
high price of screen-reading software, switched over to the Mac in a  
big way. He bought 3 of them and has had very positive comments. He  
just sent me his opinion of Leopard's updated VoiceOver.

> The Vista voice is nothing new, but rather a replay of the old.   
> Microsoft Mike is better, but yet not as good as the new MAC  
> voice.  The new MAC voice speaks the words very clearly and speaks  
> them in a natcheral (sic) way, the best computer generated voice I  
> have ever heard.

BTW, if you haven't seen the WWDC keynote, catch it here:

It's about 1h 30m long, so sit in a comfy chair.
