Hi, I had no problem getting alison to show up in the VO utilities under speech. The problem is after I choose her. My Mac protests with profound silence. lol. No. But it doesn't speak when I try to navigate. Only when I checked the time. Then it just causes VO to go nuts. It took me 20 minutes to get Alex back up and running. It was a horror show.
