Again, first I need an Apple Watch, but I did like you getting what App in the Air did with branding name.

I am so pleased about that: when it dawned on me, I'd typed the name a dozen times already.

Can I pick your writerly brains, please, sir? I use MS Word on my M1 Mac mini, and I would consider it perfect if it could only use the high-quality Read-Aloud Microsoft voices instead of the built-in Apple ones that sound like they come from 1995. Word on the iPad can manage this trick, as can my android phone. Any ideas?

[@WilliamGallagher]

The best you can do, I understand, is first try Apple's various different voices and then adjust the speed of any you like. I'm not clear how to do that last, but apparently it helps. I imagine that you could use Word online and if you did it using the Microsoft Edge browser, apparently you can have Microsoft's voices back. But only online and only in Edge.

@@WilliamGallagher Yes, it does seem to work online in Edge. Thanks for your help!
