Hi Allison,
I'm a bit confused about the statement that you need to have the
American Infovox voices installed in order for the British voices to
work. Are you sure this is a necessity and not a function of the kind
of license your purchased? I thought that could purchase any voice
pack, including a British voice pack which had the Heather voice.
However, the way that the pricing and licensing works, you're charged
at one rate for the first language license pack that you purchase, and
then the price drops substantially for the second language pack that
you buy. But if you asked to purchase the British voices using the
add-on pack license pricing, then you're correct, that type of license
requires that you have an original single user license.
So for a U.S. user, I think your first license (for a non-Scandinavian
voice) would cost $99, and a language update pack license (for a non-
Scandinavian voice) would cost $49.50. If you bought your first
license for British voices as a language update pack license (at
$49.50), then it's true that license won't work unless you also have
an initial license at the $99 price, but I don't think the $99 license
has to be for the U.S. English voices. If Ray is trying to buy the
Infovox voices in the U.S. or Canada, then I would just either call or
email the people at Origin Instruments in Texas to ask what license he
needs to get for the voices he wants. I'll paste in the contact info:
Origin Instruments Corporation

FAX: 972-606-8741

I would recommend getting the bundle of Infovox voices with
GhostReader for $10 more ($109 for non-Scandinavian language) -- it
has a nice feature to record to audio, and you can switch voices in
text that's being read through the use of an undocumented feature.
HTH. Cheers,
Esther

Yes you are correct, but you still have to buy the American voices
if you do not have them already installed. Heather does come in the
bundle, but unless you have the American voices installed, the
British ones will not work. I learned this from experience.
Happily,
Allison

Ah yes, I've just now installed the US and British voices. If I
wanted to purchase just the US and British voices, how can you be
sure you're not paying for voices you're not going to use? When I
went to the infovox app, I saw the button where it says "purchase
online". From what I could tell, I need one license for the US
voices and a second license for the British Voices. IS that
correct?

Hi Chenelle,
I have the British ENglish voices and the SPanish voices for my
Mac. You go to
http://www.originistruments.com
I don't know if they have Australian voices, but they do have
British English. You have to purchase the AMerican voices from
the Infovox platform before you can add more. I found that out
the hard way. I have Heather, Laura and Ryan which are the
American voices. They are good as well. I hope that helps. Have
a wonderful day. Thank you for all the info about the Bletooth
Apple Wireless keyboard.
Happily,
Allison
