[macvoiceover] Re: verbosity on VO

The problem is: you can't compare percentages between speed, even between different versions of jaws, much less across operating systems. On jaws 3.2, I ran eloquence at 100 percent, when I went to 4.0, it required an adjustment downwards of several percentage points, because the scale of how fast it talked had been changed. When I went to version 5, I had to adjust my percentages back up again, because once again, the speed ratios had changed. However, on the mac, I *always* run Fred at 100 percent, because anything slower just irritates me to no end. (and occassionally, I'll take advantage of a bug to raise my speed even higher to read stuff when it's an extremely long passage, or something I just want to skim in a hurry) You'll just have to try a mac, and find a speed that works for you, I'm sorry, but that's just all there is to it. Everyone is comfortable with different speeds, and they just don't translate well even between different screen readers on the same operating system, not even taking into account the different versions of the same screen reader as I mentioned above.
