Hi, Just chiming in re the Siri voices: I believe that Aaron, and his female counterpart Nicky, were the official US Siri voices prior to the latest versions, which came out in either iOS 12 or 11, I can't remember which. Nicky and Aaron, plus their equivalents in other languages, are available for use in Voice Dream Reader, and I think this was also the case before they were demoted from official Siri voice status. It's just the latest Siri voices which Apple has not made available to third-party developers. So I think Mary and Richard are both right: Aaron is now just another voice, but he used to be a Siri voice and was available in VDR at the time. Sorry for the long message and please feel free to correct any unintentional misinformation. All the best, Nicky, but not the former Siri voice, I'm afraid I sound far too British, LOL!
