10.4: Speak different languages
Authored by: Mr. H on Sep 12, '06 07:37:23AM

I believe that the "new improved voice" in Leopard is English only.

10.4: Speak different languages
Authored by: sezme on Sep 12, '06 09:04:21AM

According to Apple (from the Leopard Accessibility page:

"With support for foreign language add-on speech synthesizers, VoiceOver for Leopard speaks your language. VoiceOver even includes support for two-byte languages such as Japanese and Chinese."

I'm not sure if this means it would work out of the box, or if you need to buy an "add-on speech synthesizer"

Anyway, this tip is a bad joke as far as I can tell. The voices in Tiger speak Spanish as well as any english speaker who has never studied Spanish. I'd suggest to the original poster of this tip that he read the translated text aloud himself. It'll probably sound better than what Vicki can manage.

10.4: Speak different languages

I heard that more languages will be included with 10.5. But 10.4.7 really doesn't speak anything but English. The author of this hint is mistaken.
