(ALL VERSIONS OF MAC OSX) Open Script Editor which can be found by typing “Script Editor” into spotlight. This works for any version of OSX, even the BETA I think but no one uses that anymore, so full of glitches, features you take for granted just aren’t there… Anyway, when you go into script editor type in: say “Hello, how are you doing today?” Copy and paste that, you can replace the text inside the speech marks with anything you want the computer to say, then click the green play button.
I’m new here so I’m not sure if you have this tip or not but it is quite funny to listen to the computer say things that you type…
Another small but new feature of Snow Leopard is minimising open application windows to their respective ‘application icon’ in the dock (instead of a new icon on the right hand side of the dock). Not bad!
So I’ve just installed Snow Leopard on my near-new 13″ Macbook Pro. It’s fast, very fast. Faster than Leopard. The new Quicktime is nice, “stacks” are much improved. Excellent!
