Vox Machina CommentaryNot Working On Panther - Version: 1.1, 7/27/2006 08:02AM PST

If I am not mistaken, this is at least the second time that I have downloaded this program in recent months. To date, I have not gotten it to work at all on a G3 running Panther 10.3.9. I know that it is not a problem with my machine, or with the Logitech headset I am using, because if I type some text in TextEdit, it speaks it just fine.

With this program, it is set to "Save Audio" by default. If I click on the "Speak" button, for a very brief second I see the little twirly progress wheel, as if the program is trying to do something, and then it switches back quickly to highlighting the ""Save Audio" button, without ever speaking a word.

If I click on the "Save Audio" button, it prompts me for a directory to save the file in, but then it does absolutely nothing. No file is saved.

I have tried the above repeatedly without getting any positive results.

I am wondering if perhaps the program now requires Tiger as a minimum, but the author simply forgot to update the OS requirements here on his VT page. A lot os developers seem to do that.

Guess I won't be seeing the moving lips! :)

Vox Machina ReviewGlitch in the Voices Menu - Version: 1.0, 5/31/2006 08:37PM PST

The voices menu today is missing Good News. I thought yesterday it had duplicated Kathy. This makes it impossible to use Zarvox.

It does what it says, the lips are a very fun application. I'd like to see a way to save the lips and audio as a quicktime movie with a transparency around the mouth. So one could paste it over a photo and such.

I think the mouth is what will make this stand out above all others. Keep it up.
