Who is this talking to me??

Today as I was going looking at posts in my Reader suddenly a woman’s voice started to reading all of the posts on my Reader!! I didn’t need this nor did I want to hear her. I told her several times to “Shut up!!” but she carried on unrelentingly. I knew that there would be a way to get rid of her but could not find it. I looked in Accessibility but found nothing. I looked in settings but naught there either . To be honest I did finally turn her off but I can not remember exactly how I did it. So she may come back. But here is something interesting. She pronounced my name Leueen perfectly. This was when she read one of my comments on a post. My name is pronounced Louween but that is not how it looks in the spelling is it? Anyway that’s it for me for today.

    I am forever telling the “helpful” AI assistant take tries to start up and help me to Go Away (usually in much stronger terms). I didnt not realise there’s a “w” sound in the middle of your name, so I’d give it a point for that.

    Accessible tech can be good and bad.

    When I’m using a navigational tool, I guess it’s kind of mean, but I enjoy the struggles the robotic voice goes through, particularly with native American place names like Canandaigua or Waukesha. My sister lives in a neighborhood called Squirrel Hill and my phone renders that as “ squeee-rill.” I tell it “Computer, have you never heard of a squirrel!? You should get out more.”

    So it is not Anne but Leueen? Somehow I thought that was your last name. Looks like I have gotten it wrong since I started reading your blog four years ago. Funny how things get misinterpreted via our online presence versus who we are in person!
