Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
Hi Tim. Sadly, Neospeech hasn't made any voices for the Mac and I doubt they will. Ivona keeps saying that they will at some point make voices for the Mac but for me that's just talk until they actually do it. I'm glad you like the Acapela voices though. I don't see what's good about Karen and Will, Will sounds like Paul from Neospeech and Karen sounds like she could be Acapela Laura's sister because she sounds so robotic and digital. I know I've said this so many times but I can't wait until Assistiveware releases Acapela Sharon for Mac and Winston releases her for VDR. Anyway, I'm pretty sure that the mods will say that this is getting off topic so if you like, you can email me off list at bbssh...@icloud.com and we can talk more about this.

To demo Acapela voices, go to assistiveware.com and download the Infovox Ivox engine.

In a file I found somewhere, it showed that Karen can make her voice slightly deeper for male characters in a novel and soforeth. What other features do the new Acapella voices have?

Default iOS Voices Missing in Writer was RE: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
I've already sent this issue to Winston but I'm curious if others are also experiencing it. I upgraded both VDR and VDW to the latest versions in the last couple of days and re-downloaded my purchased voices in VDR. When I go into Writer and select audio settings, I note that my downloaded voices are there but the high quality built-in iOS voices that I use with VO are not listed. I lean toward using Samantha since I've gotten used to her and that default English voice on my iPhone is not available in VDW. I suspect this is one of the bugs Winston will be fixing but I wanted to ask if others are also experiencing it. Thanks.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
Hi Russ, To be honest, it has been a while since I have used Kate. She sounds more processed, more digital, some kind of artifact in there that I don't care for but I don't know what to call it. So my voice is our Ashley Kendra and James and I do have Amy, although for some reason I'm not is taken with her as many others have been. And interestingly enough, this morning, when I updated the VoiceStream on my old iPhone for S, I found that I had to "repurchase" Ashley yet again. Of course, I was not charged, as it knows I bought the voice once I get checked in to my Apple ID with my password. So if this happens to you, don't be surprised. Go ahead and just pretend you're rebuying the voice and everything will be great.

I kinda found that Karen sounds like a deeper voiced version of Laura. I demoed her for a while on the Mac so this is what I found her to sound like. If you have a Mac, you should demo her for Infovox Ivox and see if you want her for Voice Dream.

I did get to hear the sample. I did not get the error that people have talked about. I suppose that some people might think Ashley sounds rather flat. If you are for example, a fan of the ivona is Sally voice, you probably won't like Ashley. She is sort of like a female James, as far as intonation goes. But I still think James is better.I would use her for reading nonfiction if I didn't want to use James. I don't think I would like her for novels with emotional scenes in them.

Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader?

RE: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
Alex is okay for a while, then I go back to Samantha even though I do wish she would get rid of that smoker's voice. I guess it is just that I am used to her, don't like her much but it has been on my phone forever, sometimes hear Alex especially if I am working and in the zone can startle me. I remember one of the first times I wondered who the man was that sounded like he was in my pocket, LOL. If I am reading with Kindle or iBooks I sort of prefer Alex, but for normal stuff I am used to Samantha. I could wish we had more choices here in America, I am not overly fond of British English or anything like that when I am trying to get something accomplished, they are fun to play with, for me not to get anything accomplished. However, it subjective, and it may be that normally I have my speech going faster than many would. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Sieghard Weitzel Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 10:23 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader How subjective synthetic voices are to people is evident in how much many like Alex while I think he sounds quite bad.

The developer has told me that there is a bug he will fix very soon because I too updated both apps and downloaded all purchased voices but cannot get any of them to work in Writer.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
Hi. My issue is that when I updated vdr and vdw and got the voices, they work in vdr, but not in VDW. Does anyone know why this is? I'd rather not redownload the voices, as they cannot be downloaded on the school wifi network for some reason, but they can on the verizon data network. So yeah, I'd rather not use up another 200 gigs for that.

It's true. Neospeech and Ivona aren't available for Mac, but Acapela and the Nuance Vocalizer Expressive voices like Ava, Samantha and of course Tom are. I'm using Acapela Sharon for NVDA right now and contrary to the other Acapela voices, she's the most human sounding of them.

And sure enough, after I signed in with my Apple ID I was informed that I had already purchased this voice, and what I like to download it for free on this device. Yes. I did. And everything is now in order. I have no clue why it did not show up in my purchased voices. I was unaware that there were any voices available for the Mac other than those which Apple offers. There are things like Tom, for instance. Are there others? Are they for sale?I would love to have Tatiana for the Mac, and I would also love to have James for the Mac. But so far as I'm aware there aren't any Neospeech or I won't voices on the Mac. And I didn't think there were any from a cappella either.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
I can't wait until the next VoiceDream Reader update. Hopefully they'll add Sharon from Acapela to the list of voices. I like her. She kinda sounds like Vocalizer Ava but better and with sorta a lisp. It's not noticeable all the time but it's there. Maybe when Assistiveware releases her for Mac Winston will release her for VDR.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
Hi Keith, You have updated your voice dream, right? Ashley only appears after you update. Then you have to reinstall any purchased voices. And if you go to add new voices, Ashley should be there.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
I still like Kendra from I Vona. I know we had a big discussion about that a few months ago. So I always say to each his or her own. But at this point for me, it would be Kendra or Ashley on the female side and James on the male side. And if Apple ever lets us have Alex, I would also use him.

Hi Richard, I have only one Apple ID. So I don't believe I could be signed in as anybody else but me. Smile. I will try again on the iPad.

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
That is kind of a tough question. I did get to hear the sample. I did not get the error that people have talked about. I suppose that some people might think Ashley sounds rather flat. If you are for example, a fan of the ivona is Sally voice, you probably won't like Ashley. She is sort of like a female James, as far as intonation goes. But I still think James is better.I would use her for reading nonfiction if I didn't want to use James. I don't think I would like her for novels with emotional scenes in them. But, to each their own of course. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Feb 23, 2015, at 10:56 AM, BBS wrote: > > How does Ashley sound?

Re: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
How does Ashley sound? I tried getting a voice sample of her but she was one of the voices that had the download error. Shawn Sent From My White Macbook - Original Message - From: "Mary Otten" To: Sent: Monday, February 23, 2015 12:18 PM Subject: Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader Hello all, I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to update that before updating boy stream writer.

Issue with newly purchased voice on voice dream reader
Hello all, I recently did update voice dream reader, because it was necessary to update that before updating boy stream writer. I subsequently decided to purchase the new Ashley voice using my iPhone. All went well, and the voice works as expected. Now, I have updated voice dream reader on my iPad, and installed a couple of my favorite voices. However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you been able to get that voice on more than one device? Mary Sent from my iPad -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
