I'll add my name to the list of those on the revelation of ignorance list. 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?
