Yes, and in the Windows version there is no inflection, and no way to hear
punctuation when reading continuously if you need to do that for some
reason.

Subject: some good and some possibly bad news for bo users
According to the article found at
http://www.tuaw.com/
Mac OS 10 offers high quality multi-lingual voices,
There are going to be a whole lot of high quality voices, in a variety of
languages, available for download in the next iteration of Apple's os. For
me, the one possible sour note was the reference to Samantha and Tom as an
improvement over Alex that we have now. I hope this will not mean that Apple
will decide to retire Alex in favor of what are, for me at least, vastly
inferior voices in Samantha and Tom. There will be other English voices, the
ones we know on the IPhone. Indeed, it sounds like the voices that are
coming to Lion are those we now have on the I-devices. Great for speakers of
languages other than English. Great for folks who prefer a non-U.S. English
reading voice. But a definite leap backwards if they can Alex in favor of
what's on the IPhone now, even if they include the male voice.
