Hello Paul, Many people, but not all, on my French list are having the same problems as you with the Infovox iVox voices. Assistiveware are trying to find out what’s happening and why it only affects certain people.
I gave up on the voices a while back as they cause too much trouble when installing a new OS or changing computers. I didn’t use them much anyway as I’m not bothered about quality, just clarity.
