Mary,
I think the thing with Apple is that they don’t do much quickly and you have to be patient. How long did it take them to add third party keyboard support? SIRI has been around for 3 years and still developers don’t have access to it. But Apple has really started opening things up (of course according to their own rules) with the extensibility concept and over time developers will take advantage of that and eventually Apple will give even more access. But as I said, it will happen slowly because one thing Apple doesn’t like is to give up control to the point where they compromise security and that of course is one of the things which most people as well as large corporations and businesses really like.

That is a disappointment. Of course, we do have the wonderful James. But if Apple is serious about opening up their platform, I can't see why they wouldn't give other developers access to Alex. Apple has so much more to offer than android in my opinion, because android is so fragmented and their braille support is so horrible. And yet, Apple keeps doing stuff like this.

So until Apple changes this, you won't see Alex in voice dream reader.

I went into voice dream reader looking for the availability of the Alex voice. I don't see it, and I assume this means we will have to wait for the update to VoiceStream in order for the app to be aware of Alex.
