Hi,
Because iOS doesn't allow for any other voices than the Nuance high quality
voices. With high quality comes the trade off of lagginess.
You can use compact voices, but while responsive, they are not great
quality, or not nearly as good as Eloquence in my view.
With Android also allowing very small footprint voices, such as ESpeak, I
assert that iOS will never be as responsive as Android can be made to be
with the right voices.
Talking of voices though, there are also very basic things missing in iOS
too, such as pronunciation dictionaries.
All the best
Steve

Objectively, yes, every bit. With a voice like Eloquence as well, it is way
way more responsive than iOS will ever be.

Hi,
Depends on your point of view. iOS people will say it is bad, because
they expect it to be like iOS. I love it, because it isn't like iOS.
I use it day to day all the time, for running my business, and it doesn't
let me down.
All the best
Steve

Hi Ian,
It is, but it happens all the time. I had it on Connect Radio.
A
handful of iOS fans and just me. I'm looking forward to it though, up for
a challenge.
All the best

I am pasting the below in the hope some of you will find it
interesting:
Hi everyone.
Next Monday, Apple's Worldwide developers conference begins with a big
reveal. We'll find out about many of the key new features in iOS 10, the
operating system for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch that will be released
later in the year. We'll learn about the name and feature set of the next
version of the operating system for the Mac, which may even get a new name.
There may be software announcements pertaining to Apple Watch and Apple TV,
and who knows what other surprises Apple may have in store.
WWDC is aimed at developers, so the presentation can get a bit geeky.
And due to limited time, a lot of information is flashed up on the screen
in presentation slides that are not spoken about during the presentation.
To get a straightforward, comprehensive analysis and summary of all the big
news, you won't want to miss the special Tech Team presentation on Mushroom
FM right after the event.
One thing we promise. We'll offer you detailed, constructive analysis.
This is no Apple commercial. The team brings a range of perspectives to
the show that will help you understand where Apple is innovating, where
they're catching up and where they're behind.
On our tech team for this show are:
Allison Hartley, so much of an Apple fan that she even includes the brand
in her own Twitter Name, @AppleAlli. She's also the co-host of the Tech
Doctor podcast.
Steve Nutt knows his way around iOS and VoiceOver, but he's a committed
Android user and advocate. If you're debating whether your next device
should be iOS or Android, Steve will offer his views on how Apple's
announcements stack up from an Android user's perspective.
Heidi Mosen is an iOS user and tech geek. She also is unique on the Tech
Team show in that she has eyeballs that work. As already mentioned, these
Apple presentations display a lot of information on-screen that isn't
discussed. Heidi will be taking copious notes during the keynote event, so
she can answer detailed questions and comment on user interface and other
issues she's been able to see from the demos.
And I, Jonathan Mosen, will be chiming in, moderating the conversation,
and doing my best to ensure you're informed and entertained.
The Tech Team will begin by discussing the big news among themselves, then
we'll open it up for discussion to find out what you think. You can Skype
us, or call us via numbers all over the world. Details about those numbers
closer to the time. We'll also be monitoring the #MushroomFM Twitter
hashtag.
If you have an interest in tech from a blindness perspective, you'll want
to set two hours aside to join the Tech Team. We go to air right after the
keynote, at 4 PM Eastern, 9 PM UK, next Monday
13 June.
You can search for Mushroom Fm in most popular radio apps, such as TuneIn
and Ootunes. There is also a fully accessible web-based player on the
website. Head over to http://MushroomFM.com and choose the listen link.
See you then.
