Hi Shen,
I'd like to know if there are Mandarin voices to use with VoiceOver,
too. There are Japanese voices that worked with VoiceOver under
Leopard from DTalker, but I don't know if they've been updated yet for
Snow Leopard. Here's the link to my post to Yuma on this subject from
the archives:

(Japanese voice for the Mac)
There are some language learning programs that include voices for text
to speech, such as the Key2009 software:
http://www.cjkware.com/index.html
I haven't tried these, so I don't know whether they're accessible, but
the voices only do text to speech within the application program.
The iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad have Mandarin and Japanese voices
with VoiceOver on their version of the operating system (OS 3.1.2 or
OS 3.2). However, switching voices is inconvenient. The iPad (OS 3.2)
has introduced a language rotor, which simplifies this. The iPad is
currently the Mac platform that would best support Mandarin, although
the iPhone operating system and applications are more limited in
capabilities than Mac OS X on the regular Macs.
HTH
Cheers,
Esther
