I'll give that a try. Mostly I just use the experience to teach myself patience
and humility, and to enjoy a few more sips of coffee. I don't switch all that
much, more so when I am trying to help my second-grader son with his French
homework.

Have you tried turning voiceover off and back on after the switch?

What is the enhanced Alex voice?

One thing I've noticed when switching voices, is that it sometimes takes a
few minutes before the voice catches up and starts performing normally. OK,
maybe not a few minutes, but sometimes it can seem like that because of the
keyboard lag as you type. The main reason that I choose the voice I do Is
that each voice pronounces date slightly differently, especially between the
different nationalities. Like a united kingdom voice will pronounce the day
differently then United States voice, and it screws up items in the standard
OS X applications like the dates reported in Mail in-box. I have yet to find
a satisfactory explanation of this. I have also noticed that some of the
voices miss pronounce a few words. I'm sure it will come up for many of you,
but the word exegetical Is pronounced exegeticallyby a few voices, but not
all. Using the Ava voice, Thy with a capitla T comes out as tee, with a
lower case I get the proper thy. So as I’m leading prayers in church I’m
hearing tee Kingdom come tee will be done and my headset, and saying the
proper pronunciation out loud.

Just a few quirks, overall I find the experience with the different voices
to be just fine. I am curious about the enhanced Alex though. Will have to
check it out.

I had no idea there was an enhanced Alex. I guess i'm publicly revealing my
ignorance if there is one.

The resources I just sent should help with your other questions.

well, from what i can tell it does work well .
Now i have a question is there a way to have what i would term the
standard alex voice along side the enhanced alex voice? so you may switch
between both if wanted?
I was actually surprised that it only took about an hour or less to
install from a freshly ereased disc.
are there any new voice over commands i should be aware of? what works
differently in yosemity vs snow leppard?

relieved that it works okay with only 2gb of memory.
