Zoey definitely was what I listened to. By lowe r end, you're confused. I
don't mean she sounds low pitch or a deep voice. I mean low as in lower
frequencies. There is no high end brightness to her. She doesn't sound crisp
and clear. At least not on my 4 feet tall JVL studio monitors. It sounds like
she's cutting off with a lowpass around I'd guess maybe 100HZ. Maybe 150 at
most.

Which one did you listen to, Evelyn or Zoe? Evelyn is the older deep voiced
sounding and Zoe is the younger one. Also, if you think about it, Nuance always
sends Apple updates to their voices with each version of Mac OS. If history
repeats itself, Vocalizer 5 or Expressive as it's called now will be updated to
version 6 which will include these new voices. They might not be there in the
first beta, but give it time and they will be there.

Meh, I personally took a listen and didn't really care for how she sounded
in that link you gave. Way way too much low end, and nowhere near enough high
frequency. She's way too boomy in my opinion, which makes it incredibly
difficult for me to understand. That's only one person's thoughts though, so
please judge the voice according to your opinion, and not necessarily that of
mine.

I was kinda disappointed that they didn't use Nuance's new female voice
for Siri. I mean, have you guys heard this one yet? She's freaking awesome! Her
name is Zoe and she's the most human sounding voice they've ever created. You
can use her with Mac OS Sierra. If you want to listen to her, go to
http://www.nuance.com/landing-pages/playground/Vocalizer_Demo2/vocalizer_modal.html
and set it to use Zoe. Type in some stuff and let her read to you. They also
have three other new voices called Evelyn, Nathan who are all US English voices
like Zoe, and Malcom, a new British English voice. And no, I'm not breaking any
NDA. Nuance announced that these voices would be in Mac OS Sierra long before
WWDC.

Ray, I can't really say anything, being I'm on NDA, but I'll throw my
comments to the borderline without breaking anything.
I'll say this. I did see the keynote, and I did see them using Siri.
Would the male voice be something you guys would want? If so, I cannot reveal
if it's already there or not, but what I'll say is, if, it's not already there,
nor is intended to be there, I'd be happy on the back end to put it in as a dev
feedback request, provided it's not there already. Either way, you'll
have to trust that we devs will voice the possibility, if it be wanted by you
guys.
Would that be something you all would like to see in addition to
Samantha ia if it be something we devs could convince Apple to do?

Subject: any thoughts on Mac OS Sierra?
Folks, looks like we will be getting Siri when Mac OS Sierra comes
out this Fall. During the keynote yesterday, they used Samantha as the voice
so I’m not sure if the Mac will be getting the voices we’ve been enjoying on
our iPHones for a little while now. Just wondered if anybody had their own
impressions of Mac OS Sierra yet? Of course, I realize that it’s hard to get
much of an impression from a demo meant for the light dependant; still, just
thought I’d ask.
