Re: [orca-list] Thoughts on when we should use the system voice?

[Jean-Philippe MENGUAL <jpmengual hypra fr>]

Hi,

Personally I think it is a convinient behavior and some users will like 
it. Keys would be in the default voice, indeed.

Here I am only worry about on thing: if I change the voice of System 
voice type, it seems that a small latency happens between the text and 
the role name. Not so visible but ... I hear it. What about you?

Here with Voxygen I changed only the high.

regards
