Purchasing Infovox
Here's the link you want. http://www.assistiveware.com/product/infovox-ivox/buy Be sure to look at the explanation of the cost of the voices in credits. You buy the credits first and then apply them to buy a specific voice in the infovox ivox voice manager. You didn't specify whether or not you have the infovox ivox voice manager; I would think it would have been installed when you downloaded the demo but I'm not sure. Look in /Applications. You use the voice manager to create an account and keep track of your voices and credits. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

It appears that the problem occurs when using the voices with more than 1 app. See below. Dear Shawn, We've traced back the problem with the demo voices. It happens to occur when two different application use the same voice in demo mode. For example Voice Over and another application. We're investigating the problem and will try to come up with a solution. I'm afraid that in the meantime the only solution we can offer is to ask you to test the voices with one voice application only. Please note that the problem should not occur for activated (purchased) voices.

Re: Problem Purchasing Infovox IVox (please help asap)
Hi Tiffanitsa, I sent you a reply off-list yesterday as soon as I read your post but I'll post again here. The problem for U.S. users is that our distribution agent, Origin Instruments, only puts up voices for a few languages on their web site and tells you to email them if you want to purchase others. Apparently there's just not much market in the U.S. for people who want voices in languages other than English or Spanish, so the only voices that are on their downloads pages are (U.S. and British) English, (Castilian and U.S.) Spanish, and (Gallic and Canadian) French. Plus, they added Russian (but I think only because I purchased that voice). I actually called in, and also spoke with the Tech Support person, Cathy Kingeter, who generated my license. Here's the contact information: Origin Instruments Corporation 854 Greenview Drive Grand Prairie, Texas 75050-2438 USA Voice: 972-606-8740 FAX: 972-606-8741 email: supp...@orin.com And appended below is the part of my query to David Niemeijer about how to get the new voices; he just says to drop them an email. And you don't get a Kagi link on the web pages for the U.S. purchase, though it appears for Assistiveware purchases elsewhere. The problem is not the screen access -- they just don't have a full list of the Infovox iVox voices up anywhere on their purchase pages.

I just called Origin Instruments and ordered. The email should be here some time this afternoon. The woman Cathy who took my order was very nice and helpful.
