I'm really confused. Even apple endorse them on the voice over indepth page. I've installed them, they're sitting in system prefs but not showing up in voice over whatsoever and they don't work in system voice either. I can see them but it also tells me every time I hit cepstral in system prefs, that it needs to relaunch system prefs to view cepstral. Anyone know the email to this company. I'd like to buy them but only if they work.
