Go to the apple menu and the app store, note it has been renamed from
software updates, and in there you will find under updates a update for each
indivisual voice you have installed on your device, and when you update them
it will stop studdering

Subject: [macvoiceover] Re: using Yosemite: typing feedback

Just finished the upgrade install and repairing permissions, started off
with sluggish typing feedback, but Ava seems to be catching up. Maybe she
just needed her morning coffee.

Tried switching voices, seems about the same. Right now I'm using a French
voice, seems about the same, slightly sluggish, but no more than my brain
trying to keep up with a different language. French is on my machine so I
can keep up with a fist grader in French emersion.

Switching to a few different voices, seems about the same. Each one needs a
few lines to start keeping up. Nice to be ahead of the stern British Kate
for a change, I always feel like she is scolding me.

Compact voice doesn't seem to be a lot different, still a bit of a lag,
maybe a touch quicker than the full voices.

The most sluggish aspect seems to be switching voices.

Cheers

Ian

I've tried Alex and my infovox voices. I have my feedback set to characters
and words and often there will be silence or just little sounds, mostly
vowels, when i get to typing fast. Is there something i should do to my
settings to make this better?

So far, things seem to be working pretty well. I am actually using enhanced
dictation to compose this message. In Mavericks, this would crash mail. So,
this seems to have been fixed. I'm curious to hear what others have to say
about Yosemite if people decide to upgrade.
