Go to System Preferences and then go to Speech preferences. Then find the
button for customize and you will see a huge list of voices. Go through the
list and find one you like and check that one. After that tab until you get
to the "OK" button. Press the "OK" button and you will get a prompt as to
whether you want to download the voices now or later. Answer that you want
to download them now, and they will start downloading. The file is pretty
big and will take over 10 to 12 minutes at a fairly fast internet download
speed. When the download completes you are prompted as to whether to
install the voices now or later. Let the install take place and it will
install all the new voices and languages.
Now you can go set a new default system voice and it will take the place of
Alex.

Am I missing some voice choices? I'm only finding Alex, Fred, Olivia and
Vicki. I might be missing one or two, but only Alex sounds high quality to
me. Are there others somewhere? I've looked in the default voices under
speech and found nothing else. I also tried checking the voices with the
VO/CMD/arrow keys and managed to crash mail. :) My computer knows when
somebody that's almost computer illiterate is using it. :) Thanks.

Hi,
If your a voiceover user, its a great deal for $30 in my opinion. We now
have 1 letter navigation in the web browser, profiles you can set up for
different apps. A boat load of new high quality voices for no extra
charge. And I'm sure I'm missing some new features. I can't see any
reason not to upgrade unless there is some important app you use that is
not Lion compatible.

download and install Lion... Can we be certain it is the best thing for
those of us who use Voice Over? What are the changes? What are the
benefits?
I'm a little reluctant to just download Lion because it is there.
What happens if I don't download it?
