Yes, as a matter of fact. I at least know of two US English voices that
both are female, and both are actually incredible.
There is Alison, and there is one more but I don't know how to spell her
name, so I'm not going to attempt. If you look through the list of US
female English voices though, it'll be really obvious. It starts with an E.
I just can't place the name. Sorry. If you wonder how these sound before
installing, the voice I can't think of sounds like a really really glorified
really clear souped up version of the Pico SVox female American English
voice that you got by default with Android 4.0 Icecream Sandwitch. Not the
one from Jellybean, beware. It's good, but not quite that! good. The other
voice, Alison, is identically the same voice you'd hear if you call a
telephone PBX system running Asterisk. If you want to hear how it sounds,
then call my company at:
704-256-0067, and when you hear the IVR answer, just interupt it, and dial
6. Now, that's not a valid extension on our PBX, so you'll definitely get
an error message, but it'll at least! let you then hear the voice. It'll
say, "Sorry you're having trouble. Goodbye." That female voice saying that
is Alison, the same new voice you now can get in Mavericks.

Hey to all. I wrote a small blog post on the issues one will come across
regarding mavrics. I'm sure it was discussed a lot on this list but I
purposly decided to ignore it until I upgraded, plus I was practicing
claranet and voice. Anyway I don't have a direct link, however it will be
the first non sticky post after the broadcasting post at the top. or you
can just go here.

I like osx10.9 except for these 6 or so issues I posted about. No voice
it's just a blog post as I was in a hurry when I released it this
morning. Feel free to comment direct on the post, and if you see this on
the facebook page comment there as well as those comments also get
imported in to the posts. The fb page is at

Take care all and be blessed.
