Getting Your Mac to Speak Other Languages

For an excellent up-to-date reference on other voices for OS X's Text-To-Speech features, see this page at Ricky Buchanan's ATMac site.

  1. Hi Tom
    This is a brilliant site which shed - at least some - light on to why inserting turkish text from a word document into InDesign for the Mac is such a hassle.

  2. Hi Tom,

    Thanks for a useful site!

    I was wondering if you know of any resources for multilingual voice input/speech recognition (on Mac or PC). All of the information I have found so far has been about reading and writing, with a little covering multilingual audio.

    Thanks!

    what languages besides English they currently support.

  4. Thanks for link Tom. :-)

    Unfortunately MacSpeech Dictate is only in English. A sales representative mentioned that they are aiming for multilingual, but there is no time frame set at the moment.
