I heard back and was referred to www.nextup.com
I found the voice I want, but am confused. Does one have to purchase Text Aloud in addition to the A T&T Natural Voice just to get the voice?

The Ivona ones seem straight forward to add to cart, but I followed the link to purchase the A T&T one and got lost. The way I'm reading the page, Wizzard Software Corp. handles sales and I just sent them an e-mail. While I'm waiting to hear back can the Mike voice really be $295.00?
