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.

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. Interestingly, she was in a
different place in the voice order on my iPhone as opposed to my iPad mini.
So, I'm not sure what to say about where to find her. But she was definitely
there in US English voices.

Where do you find the Ashley voice? I've just gone through all voices on
my Voice Dream Reader, listing I'd guess 20 to 30 voices, and I didn't
find Ashley. And, I went through the whole list 3 times! I know I'll feel
stupid when I find out, but, dang, it just doesn't seem to be there.
Thanks for any help. Keith

I would generally agree with what Mary said. I used to like Laura from
Acapella for an American female voice, but the Quality of Ashley's voice
is way better.
My wife also likes Julie, but she is a little too chipper sounding to me.
I do not like Sally at all.
At this point, even though I have purchased several other voices, the only
ones I plan on using now are Amy from Ivona, and James or Ashley from
NeoSpeech.

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.

How does Ashley sound? I tried getting a voice sample of her but she was
one of the voices that had the download error.

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. 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
