I do use Alex on my i-devices though I also use Karen and Daniel and

rather use Karen or from the infovox voices Ryan or Heather or sometimes Will.
Voices are such a matter of individual preference.

Happy Will or normal Will? I find that normal Will sounds too much like Paul

I like the idea for the Siri/loquendo voices, maybe even even for the iPhone.
I always wanted those higher quality voices when I ran mobile speak, but
didn't have the $99 they wanted for them.

Hi!
One thing i don’t like is that we who does not speak english as a main language
only can use nuance voices and acapella.
I think also the svox voices for swedish is available for mac.
I don’t know if ivona has swedish included and if they have a mac version.

Hi!
I now have tried Alex and Yes he sounds great but sadly i had to slow him down
to 30 % or something like that to understand him.
Maybe its because i am a non english user.
But i think i stick with Moira Compact.
And i am also one of those who loves espeak.

Verry interesting to look at all your replies. On the subject of delayed
responses using software speech, one has to consider the possibility that
Apple may in fact employ private API's that are non-published, and
therefore are undocumented. Remember that Apple controls the entire
software

There you can delete any voice you wish. HTH.

I can’t use Fred at all; he mumbles too much. I don’t even think he’s actually
a formant synthesiser at all, though that’s rather hard to tell just from
listening to it even at faster rates.
But no, Alex, you’re not imagining it; Alex has gone back to his old, glorious
self from the Snow
I'm with you about not using Fred. It's very hard to understand him. He's too
quiet, even though Voiceover's volume is at 100%. As for Alex going back to the
way he was in Snow Leopard, I wouldn't go that far. He does sound a lot better
though. He's an upgrade to Eloquence or eSpeak, the two
Hey guys. I agree with you about Alex, he's awesome. And I agree with Ray in
the sense that Acapela has taken steps backwards. In my opinion, they've
replaced quality with features that aren't really necessary. That's why I even
use Alex on my iPhone. One thing about the vocalizer voices, Alex,
I've had the studdering issue for a while now, but I'd always use Fred and

The only thing I don't like is that Alex seems to studder and skip a little on
the mac, but he doesn't do that on the iPhone. So I use Fred on the mac because
of that.
