Hi Tiffanitsa, I sent you a reply off-list yesterday as soon as I read your post but I'll post again here. The problem for U.S. users is that our distribution agent, Origin Instruments, only puts up voices for a few languages on their web site and tells you to email them if you want to purchase others. Apparently there's just not much market in the U.S. for people who want voices in languages other than English or Spanish, so the only voices that are on their downloads pages are (U.S. and British) English, (Castilian and U.S.) Spanish, and (Gallic and Canadian) French. Plus, they added Russian (but I think only because I purchased that voice). I actually called in, and also spoke with the Tech Support person, Cathy Kingeter, who generated my license.
Here's the contact information: Origin Instruments Corporation 854 Greenview Drive Grand Prairie, Texas 75050-2438 USA Voice: 972-606-8740 FAX: 972-606-8741 email: supp...@orin.com And appended below is the part of my query to David Niemeijer about how to get the new voices; he just says to drop them an email. And you don't get a Kagi link on the web pages for the U.S. purchase, though it appears for Assistiveware purchases elsewhere. The problem is not the screen access -- they just don't have a full list of the Infovox iVox voices up anywhere on their purchase pages.
