Leopard Text to Speech Fun

In: comedy| geek

13 Nov 2007

One of the improvements in Mac OS X Leopard is a new voice called “Alex”. This voice has some realistic characteristics about it and definitely bests the old 1984 sounding voices in Mac OS X. The text to speech functions in OS X are great for those who have vision impairments or those [...]
