1.6

Version: 1.6

This app is redundant of features already in OS X. Example: Drop text into Apple's TextEdit and perform the same. Use the Dictation & Speech system preferences to alter voices. Note that there are free apps that similarly summarize these OS X features. Also: Do NOT count on the pronunciations of Apple's Speech voices to represent human spoken speech. Apple compatible voices are certainly very good, but they are NOT perfect. Listen to and repeat from REAL human speakers instead for best results.
