Hey everyone. The Nuance voices are tolerable, but I wouldn't use them all the
time. As for Acapela, I've lost interest of them because their voices, as I've
said, don't sound as good as they used to. They took away too much from the
voices. I like how I was able to get someone on here hooked
Hey it's me again, I forgot one thing. Alex and Mary, I found out that if you
have a copy of Snow Leopard, you can copy the better-sounding Alex voice and
use it on Mountain Lion. I recently downgraded because I only had Fusion 3 but
had to upgrade again to ML because I had too much problems
Hi all,
I haven't used the nuance voices except for foreign languages. For my English
voice I use Victoria, and I've found that to be a very good choice for me.
Just something to try for those of you who, like me, don't care for Alex.
Cheers,
Donna

Thanks, Shawn, for that tip about keeping the better Alex voice when you get a
Mac running ML. I am still using Snow Leopard, so will definitely need to copy
out that speech file when I get a new Mac. I really like the SL Alex.

That's why I use Nuance, specifically Serena or Lee. I found that Alex tends to
be too broken, as though you can often hear the individual voice samples that
are strung together to form speech, instead of just hearing smooth speech.
Nuance sometimes does this as well, but it is better than
My favorite voices-for the moment-are the Acapela voices. They are quick and
responsive and they have the best characteristics of Alex for entonation but
the quuickness of response of the nuance voices. To indicate capitol letters,
I just needed to reset VO so that it plays a sound when ever
Where does one get the nuance voices?

Go to the vo utility, select speech from the table, select the voices tab, open
the voice popup menu, and select customize. Once the resulting window loads,
use the table to check all the voices you want, then hit the download button.
You will be asked if you really want to download the voices
Hi Kerri,
To download the voices, you'll go to your Voiceover utility with Vo+F8. Go to
the speech category, and the voices tab should be selected. Vo+Right arrow to
where it says default and you'll then see a popup button with your currently
selected voice. Vo+space on that menu, and go down
thanks, I have seen this before, just going senile

Well, I still like Alex over any other U.s. English voice available on the Mac.
If Ivona were on the Mac, I would have a different opinion, but it isn't, so be
it. I'm still using Snow Leopard, so perhaps Alex changed for the worse on
newer versions of the os. I'm just not taken with the A
Voices preferences are such an individual thing that I think a person just has
to try different voices and make a decision. I personally don't like Nuance -
at least the US English voices - but some people really like those voices, and
you can find people who really like Alex and people who
Agreed. I don't like American Nuance either, that's why I prefer Serena
(British) or Lee (Australian). Here's how odd my tastes are: if I had my way,
I'd be using eSpeak with Voiceover on my iPhone and mac. Yes, eSpeak. If you
haven't heard that one, google it; it is absolutely horrible at
