Hi Marie,

I've changed the subject line, since we're talking now about the Infovox voices from Acapela. One additional piece of information is that you get the Heather voice with every voice pack you purchase. So, if you purchased the Spanish voices or the U.K. English voices, you'd also get the U.S. Heather voice.

Cheers,

Esther

yes, i think there should be an option to buy individual voices. I like heather and I think its Emily. Ryan's OK too but one or two voices doesn't justify me buying a whole bunch of voices, like you said, taking up room. Maybe if enough people email them they might consider it an option. haha, and then again, maybe not.

Hi,

See, I asked them about this. APparently, Acapela does not permit sales of separate voices. THis is apparently because of agencies. They seem to find it a better solution to just buy a package that suits your needs so you can choose, rather than agencies and such having to buy multiple times.

I guess I can see that, but it would be nice. I don't want a lot of those voices taking space on my computer. The only ones I really care about are Peter and Heather. let's complain!

Nic

I love Alex too and use him pretty much all of the time. I trialled other voices from infovox and such but could not bring myself to pay $99 for one set of voices. I understand now why they cost so much but even still I just can't justify that much money for 4 or 5 voices and I like a mix of the british and American voices so would need to buy two packs and I'm also learning spanish so would have kinda liked one of the spanish voices too, you can see my dilemma. lol

Hi,

Well, it'd be a surprise, sure. But more voices provides more choices. I love Alex, though.

Thank you for your response.

But how can this be? Is she not the beloved voice of the iPhone, iPod
Touch, and  iPad?

Perhaps I refer to her by the wrong name?

I fear you shall not find symmetry in your world...Samantha is a
Microsoft Windows SAPI voice and is not an option for Macintosh users.

Hello Everyone,

Call me slow but I only just now realized that my beloved Samantha is not
on
my Mac.  All I have, of any quality anyway, is Alex.

Where is she? Please tell me that I can download her to my Mac so I can
achieve perfect symmetry in my world.  (Smile)
