Re: Sample of Alex
Lol, I thought I was the only one! I've never liked Alex as much as other voices, especially now that Nuance speech has gotten so good (on the Mac anyway). I'd rather have Ava on iOS than Alex, but that's just me. As always, speech is the most subjective thing out there, and no one will ever agree on which is the better voice. That's why there are so many, and with Alex coming to iOS, maybe in the future we'll see more voices become available, giving us the choice to use the one we think is best.

RE: Sample of Alex
Hi Annie, To expand a little on the point Alex made, an excellent one. Another consideration is related to those of us with hearing loss. I'm glad you described the sound of Alex as being metallic. As a person with a hearing loss, I didn't notice that at all. I do have losses in all frequencies. My most serious is in the higher range. This makes it very difficult to understand the female voice on the Iphone for me. With that said, if I switch to the Australian English voice, I do much better.

I was a bit disappointed in that I wanted to hear Alex doing the breath sounds but I wasn't using phones either so I could of just missed it. No matter. I'll be updating my 5s in the not to distant future and can hear it for myself. I was interested though to hear the rest of the pod cast. At some point down the road I will want a new computer.

Re: Sample of Alex
It's really a matter of personal freference. I imagine it's hard to say why someone has a personal preference. A lot of people really like Karen, the Australian voice, but to me, she speaks too softly and breathily. A lot of people think Alex doesn't sound the way you describe. This is one reason there are so many voices to choose from. :) Teresa We can see with the eyes, but we see with the brain as well, and seeing with the brain is often called imagination.--Oliver Sacks On Sep 6, 2014, at 6:04 AM, Annie Skov Nielsen annieskovniel...@gmail.com wrote: Hi all.

Re: Sample of Alex
Hi Everyone. Thank you for your answers it is a funny thing with these differences. I really hope in the future we can get a better danish voice. It would be great if we in the future could buy voices e.g from accapella, they do better voices for danish than nuance do. We had the Ida voice everyone loves it has been discontinued and now we have Sara which is not a better voice, it is for some people really difficult to understand. Unfortunately some danish users choose android because they can get accapella voices instead. Best regards Annie.Den 06/09/2014 kl. 15.36 skrev Alex Hall mehg...@icloud.com: Lol, I thought I was the only one! I've never liked Alex as much as other voices, especially now that Nuance speech has gotten so good (on the Mac anyway). I'd rather have Ava on iOS than Alex, but that's just me. As always, speech is the most subjective thing out there, and no one will ever agree on which is the better voice. That's why there are so many, and with Alex coming to iOS, maybe in the future we'll see more voices become available, giving us the choice to use the one we think is best.

Alex sounds pretty good. I hope someday we will be able to adjust pitch and tone of voices on the various Apple devices. Thank you very much for sending the sample along.

Re: Sample of Alex
You can adjust pitch in Voiceover settings. I have lowered Alex's pitch on the Mac to a more baritone voice, but I don't change the pitch for Daniel's voice, as I fine him easy to understand. As for tone, I don't believe there's a way to adjust that in Voiceover settings, but you can do this on external sfeaker and headphone systems which allow it.
