Hi Chris. Yes, torrents are illegal, but as they say in wrestling, it's only
illegal if you get caught, and the law is too concerned about other things to
deal with people downloading software or movies. I shouldn't say anymore but
you get the picture.

Hi Chris. Unfortunately, at this time, Apple has restricted third-party
developers from making voices for IOS. You can get apps that have the voices in
them, but as of right now, they're restricted to that app. I know, it's stupid.

I think that Leopard is the best you'll do without some trickery. SL claims to

Yes, those voices are really good. Admitedly, I think the nuance voices are a
