Hi folks, I guess I'm way behind the times. I've used Alex for the most part. I do enjoy him. However at times he freaks me out when he breathes. I didn't realize one could put another companies voices on a Mac. I thought anything that was in voices under speech, was Apple's property. How does one get to install other voices?

I don’t even think he’s actually a formant synthesiser at all, though that’s rather hard to tell just from listening to it even at faster rates. But no, Alex, you’re not imagining it; Alex has gone back to his old, glorious self from the Snow Leopard days. Hallelujah! :) I did also notice that the Vocaliser voices improve over time; Daniel is pretty awesome now and can actually be understood quite well, or could be if not for the massive performance penalty. I used to have trouble with him because his ss were rather indistinct, but they’ve fixed that now. Oh yeah—and this iMac is running Yosemite. Being in Windows for a while has definitely raised my blood pressure, but I do miss formant synthesis quite a bit. Eloquence, in particular; nothing quite like it for all-round responsiveness and fast rates, not even Alex.
