Hello Yuma,
The iVox voices are the only French (France) voices available for the
Mac. Cepstral does two French Canadian voices and iVox does a French
Canadian voice, too.
I'm surprised you find the voices agressive. Did you try Alice? I like
Alice and Bruno best.
Cheers,
Anne

There might be a slick software way to do this but for me I just use an

If the two machines are on the same network, why not use file sharing to
