    text to speech with time information

    Hi I have a MacBook Air and an android phone. On the phone, I have an app that will do text-to-speech, and show the time remaining as the text gets spoken. I use the native Mac Speech option, and I see it doesn't show any time remaining indication like I see on the droid. Does anyone know...

    How to roll back to previous version of OSX speech synth from Time Machine?

    I updated to El Capitan. With it, to the App Store appeared updates for speech synthesizers. Because I use the feature on a daily basis as a part of my Applescripts, I updated.

    Alternative "Phone" app?

    I have a speech impediment and the phone part of my iPhone is not usable to me. People on the other side can rarely understand me. Contrast this with phones from the 1980s which were very functional and useful for me. The way I describe it: if we were to sit and have coffee, you probably...

    Dictation is unusable

    When I was using the demo iPhone 8 model in the Apple store, the dictation was very good. It was able to pick up what I was saying with impressive accuracy despite background noise. On the iPhone 8 I purchased, though, dictation is horrible. It can barely understand a word I'm saying even when...

    Since updating (I'm at 10.0.2), I can no longer successfully drag two fingers down from the top of the screen to have the contents of the screen read aloud. The controls appear briefly then vanish in a bug-like way. My Settings are correct — the feature is enabled. Is anyone else noticing this...
