Well, it's a bit unusual. You see, they don't actually sell the voices, per se. They do, however, offer a software developers' toolkit for that price and that includes all of the voices. I think there are something like 27 voices, if I remember correctly. The idea is, if you were to develop software, the voices could be packaged with the program as in the case with something like Kurzweil 1000. Thing is, there's nothing to stop you from simply buying the SDK, installing the voices on your system and never actually developing any software. This was pointed out to me by aT&T themselves. Anyway, I haven't really heard the voices but they're supposed to be pretty good.
One thing to consider, though, is that, while they're OS X compatible, that doesn't necessarily mean they'd work well with VoiceOver. It would be interesting to find out but I don't think there's any trial version. On Apr 11, 2010, at 11:39 AM, Mary Otten wrote: > Wow! $300 for voices from AT&T> Has anybody heard them?
