MAC voice deal

Luther · Post by **Luther** » Wed Nov 30, 2005 5:15 pm

I got Luthette a MAC a few months ago. I'm a PC guy, but I set hers up for her. Somewhere in the setup I toggled the *voice* deal (don't know what the feature is really called). Now, whenever she types, a voice will audibly say the letter she typed.

Annoying as all hell. If she were blind I could see the benefit.

Several times I thought I found the place to turn off the feature, but the sound stays around like a bad habit.

How do I turn it off and please be detailed since I'm not a mac person.

TIA

Or you could restore from a day previous to the day you deleted the stuff, it should come back, right? I'm not a computer guy but you seemed desperate. Any port in a storm, right?

go into the extensions manager and in the control panels list look for "speech", unselect the box, and you're good to go.

Thanks, I'll try that Bushy.

I asked Wolfman and he didn't know. Ppanther, I think doesn't play much here anymore. I asked HeadHunter and he didn't know. I'll also try Orc if my man Bushy's plan fails.

****edit**** Bushice wins the award for helping out the tard. Thanks, it worked like a breeze.

To make life easier for you and Luthette, I suggest you snag the "Missing Manual" OS X books by David Pogue. Make sure you get the edition that goes with your version of OS X (Panther, Tiger, etc.). It's written for everyone from total Mac novices to wonks.
