In addition to the many accessibility features of VoiceOver, Mac OS X Mountain Lion also includes our next-generation synthesized voice named "Alex."

Alex is based on an advanced new technology, developed by Apple, and has been optimized for the very fast speaking rates common to screen readers. It works in any application that uses Apple's speech synthesis, including Voiceover. Alex also understands abbreviations, long numbers, and heteronyms. These are words that are spelled the same but have different pronunciation and meaning. Here are some examples of challenging sentences that Alex knows how to read correctly.

My name is Dr. Smith and I live on Smith Dr.

Close the car door, we are too close to the bridge.

King Louis IV needs an IV in his arm, stat!

Good farms produce a lot of produce.

When I fill up my car, it costs $487,642,586,378,941,127,253.28.

As you can see, although Apple's text to speech technology took years to perfect, eventually it was perfect.
