Hi Amro
I can't remember, I'll get Martin to try it out later and catch the name of
the voice. There were a whole raft of them, absolutely pointless to be
honest. But it was just that Martin accidentally hit the default button
instead of the cancel button, and he had a devil of a job to put it back to
Alex because it kept laughing after every word it said. Mind you, I was in
tears with laughter it was that daft!
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns

Hi Jackie,
"For example, there was one voice that laughed each time it spoke, it was
absolutely crazy."
Would you happen to remember which voice that was? Sorry for the trivial
question but I would like to check it out on my brother's Mac. Sounds fun!
:)

Hi Mike
I hope you enjoy Voiceover and Alex. There are some really gimmicky
voices
I have to admit, and when Martin let me hear some of them weeks ago,
I was
really in hysterics at the stupidity of some. For example, there
was one
voice that laughed each time it spoke, it was absolutely crazy. But
you
can't really go far wrong with Alex.
If you read Braille and can access an embosser, there are Voiceover
manuals
ready to be run off in BRF format.
Kind Regards,
Jackie Cairns
