Saul is a InfoVox IVox voice from acapella and is available for the Mac. It is
described as Male hip hop voice. It is a specialty voice like queen Elizabeth
and a bit more expensive then the others. I tried it for awhile and liked it
though i'm finding I'm pretty boring and mostly stick to Alex.
I am sorry for my bad spelling in this post but hopefully the info is
helpful. they have other interesting voices including one that I think sort of
sounded like it had a southern accent. the english female voice with a indian
accent was also one I enjoyed hearing. Hopefully these foices will continue to
improve and increase in diversity. I mostly stopped using them as Alex was
easier for me to hear at faster speeds and I use pitch change and that doesn't
work in the optional voices, at least not in Mountain Lion.
