If memory serves me right, and this might have changed, but I recall someone saying that these voices do not work well with VoiceOver. If I am thinking of the same developer, there were promises that they were working on it, but I don't recall if this was these voices.

Alex,

I had no problem just clicking the image link with the usual VO-space.

Thanks,

Harry

I listened to a few. Personally I find them a bit choppy and not as smooth as the voices you can get with the mac by default. Still, synthesized speech is one of the most subjective things in the blindness community, so to each their own, I say.

On a practical note, I had trouble getting the sound files to play. I had to interact with the link for the sample, then vo-right to the actual link (not the image), route the mouse with vo-cmd-f5, and click with vo-shift-space. Sometimes I could just right click and select download file, but that didn't work much of the time.

Hi guys. Well, it's been two years now with my Mac and I've loved every moment of it, including the frustrating ones. Lol. But that's not what my subject is about. Last night, as I was catching up on almost 100 forum posts on SamNet, I read one of Mike Arrigo's forum posts about his Android Chat that he does weekly and he mentioned about these voices for the Android called Cereproc. Well, for those of you that wish there were more alternatives besides Nuance, Cepstral, and Acapela, these same Cereproc voices for the Android are also available for the Mac. I went to their website to see how good these voices sound and, in my opinion, they beat both Nuance and Acapela. They are really good! As a matter of fact, if I can't, ahem, find a torrent for them, I'm thinking of buying a few of them. The price is pretty affordable, about $42 US. I don't know how much that converts to in Canadian dollars, but I really like them and want to get them. So thanks Mike for introducing me to these voices. To see how well these voices sound, go to http://www.cereproc.com/en/osxvoices
