Apple updates VoiceOver Kit for iPod shuffle

Apple on Friday released an update for the recently released iPod shuffle, fixing a couple of minor items.

The 17MB download will install VoiceOver Kit 1.0.1, which contains corrected pronunciations for several artist names. According to Apple, the update also fixes a few minor bugs, but they did not elaborate on what was fixed.

Apple released the new iPod shuffle in mid-March and included several new features, including the ability for the iPod to speak your song titles, artists, and playlist names. The iPod uses the VoiceOver engine to make this happen.

The update is currently not listed on Apple’s Web site, but it is available from the software update mechanism in Mac OS X.
