5 Ways To Talk To Your Mac, Have It Talk Back To You
I admit it. I talk to myself. Often. I’m a Mac user so I can get away with it. Most people use PCs so when they see me talking to my Mac they smile, sigh, sometimes snicker, but they seem to understand.
What they don’t know is that my Mac can talk back to me. I can talk to my Mac. My Mac talks back. It can even read stories to my kids. If I could get it to change diapers I would adopt it. Or, at least buy it something; like a new mouse pad.
Who among the growing.... (excerpted).

Apple still needs to upgrade their ‘voices’ - though there are companies that offer high level voices for sale. A nice french female voice? 
That’s understandable!
‘Alex’ is OK, I guess. I still use ‘Victoria’ for alerts. It would be nice if Apple could update her voice quality to that of ‘Alex’.
Though I can see how YOU might be biased, ALEXis!!

I would like to learn to maximize the Macs ability to function for the handicapped. Does anyone have any suggestions for eduction in this area.
I have learned to do quite a bit with my Speech Commands and their ability to navigate through my Mac and the Internet. I have found “Make This Speakable” quite helpful.
How do I Verbally type basic text, i.e email responses?
Thank you
