Golly, my dad gave me a laptop for my birthday, with naturally speaking software female voice, Kate. There is just one problem; Kate refuses to say most swear words! Why do they censor it? It should be up to the people to decide. And it's inconsistent. It will say fucked, but not fucker, it says shitty, but not ass..... a helper said somebody else's talking device also won't say cuss words. i just can't believe it. Anthony, Beth, do you know why they do it? sure I could defeat it by spelling the words slightly differently. But why on earth can't folks let us swear if we want to? microsoft's Sam can do it, why can't Kate?! Mag ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ [log in to unmask] Come visit my new store!
