Well, I finally decided to just buy Ashley again on my iPad, on the theory that it wouldn't let me do it. And sure enough, after I signed in with my Apple ID I was informed that I had already purchased this voice, and what I like to download it for free on this device. Yes. I did. And everything is now in order. I have no clue why it did not show up in my purchased voices. I was unaware that there were any voices available for the Mac other than those which Apple offers. There are things like Tom, for instance. Are there others? Are they for sale?I would love to have Tatiana for the Mac, and I would also love to have James for the Mac. But so far as I'm aware there aren't any Neospeech or I won't voices on the Mac. And I didn't think there were any from a cappella either. Mary
