Hi, You can purchase extra voices. I don'nt know if ivox supports a german voice. For more information see http://www.assistiveware.com About the compairement of voice over and jaws. You need to keep in mind that that screen reading on a mac works totally difference then under Windows. Voice over works for example top down. First you see a group of elements like toolbar, if you want to work with the buttons in the toolbar you need to interact with the toolbar. If you're done working with, you stop interacting and go on. It takes some time to get conferatable with this way of working, but when you get it. It is fairly simple, effecient and fast. Hope this helps. kr -Peter Op 15-mrt-2010, om 22:02 heeft Jeronimo Schöber het volgende geschreven: > Hello, > I have a macbook running windows with Jas and Mac OSX as well. > I didn't use voiceover since it does not ship with a german speech > synthesizer. > Perhaps somebody can tell me how to get and install one or can somebody > please refer me to a german speaking mailing list if there should not be any > body familiar with german speech synthesizers. > And in general...
