[oats-sig] Fwd: New version of Fire Vox

I just did that, yes, it keeps talking as soon as you install it, BUT to
disable, just go into Tools-Addons and click 'Disable' on all the bits with
CLC- on them (3 of them).

It makes sense for it to work out of the box, and to not have a 'don't
speak' button I think... i.e. 'real users' will want that.

I'm impressed with it, it works nicely, though i'm no great screen-reading
expert.

Cheers.

Simon

Steve,

actually I'm not installing immediately as last time around on windows I had
great difficulty disabling and uninstalling fireVox

can you confirm that there is a simple means to disable and uninstall, and
how?

cheers

New version of Fire Vox released today. This is the release that Mac lovers
have been waiting for! Support for the built-in Apple voices! I'd write more
in this release post but I'm guessing that most Mac owners have already
stopped reading at this point and are hitting my download page. This release
also includes some optimizations/stability fixes for Orca users.

Enjoy!

Note:
This is my first shot at doing Cocoa programming and I developed this on an
Intel-based Mac laptop running OS X Tiger. So far, I've tested it on other
Intel-based Macs running Tiger and those have all been able to run it fine.
But I'm curious as to whether this will work on a PPC-based Mac or on OS X
Leopard (Intel or PPC) - my guess is that it won't work on PPC-based Macs
but will work on Intel-based ones running Leopard. If you have one of those
configurations and have tried this, please let me know if it worked for you
or not. Thanks!
