I downloaded the new voice in Lion, Tom, and Tom has a lot of trouble reading non-English texts in Accordance. See the screenshot for the error I get when reading GNT-T or BHS-W4 with Tom's classy voice.

Sorry, even with the upcoming bug fix for speech, the new Lion voices will not be able to read our Greek and Hebrew.

That is a bummer. I was very much looking forward to a Greek voice speaking Greek. Will this happen in the future?

Hopefully this will be resolved in a future Lion update,

Mike

Since updating to Lion and Accordance 9, I found on the read back using even using the speech voice Alex, certain words containing an apostrophe will mess up. Like the word "Don't" or "can't" and wondering if there is a fix?

Thank you

It looks like any word that has an apostrophe has a problem being read back using speech in Accordance 9 and Lion.

Any fixes available?

 

Thank you

The problem is when smart single quotes are part of the selected text then Accordance is substituting a double quote instead of a single quote (apostrophe). This is why "Alex" is breaking "Don
