Re: [Scidvspc-users] Voices for Scid

[Steven <ste...@ya...>]

Hi,


I realise you use OS X , butand after examining the Snack source code (it is very poorly
coded imho), i'm too disillusioned with Linux Tcl Audio (Snack) to work on this much. Sound hardly works on my computer,  


I'm not real keen on the voices either.  I don't think the computer generated voices are accurate
enough to use with Scid. I'm forwarding this to the mailing list in case anyone else is interested.

cheers, Steven.
