No problem,
I think I've might have figured out this little VO mystery. I think when that
apple scripts option is unchecked some how, some way, it's like the mac tries
to load Alex, or voiceover twice. I think this is more than a mac can handle.
The reason I think this is because when the apple scripts option is unchecked
and you press option T for example, you will hear Alex "in Keith's case isn't
even the default voice) speak. You will also hear alex using the default
pitch, and speaking rate. This leads me to believe that our Mac's might be
tapping some major resources when allow apple scripts is unchecked..
