said earlier, it's great that they can do exclamations, but when you make your voices sound like crap, all it is is a feature not really necessary. Shawn Sent From My White Macbook - Original Message - From: "Anders Holmberg" To: Sent: Monday, February 02, 2015 4:34 PM

Hi! This depends on your liking of course. But you have a lot of english voices built-in. Many use the Alex voice and loves it. I use Moira for english which is also built-in. But i have used and still have a license for the ivox voices. They are quite good and much faster on the mac than on a wind

Hi. I'm not too fond about the new Infovox voices. In my opinion, they've replaced quality for features like making exclamations and such. I've reported to this to them and hopefully they'll make better quality voices in the future. Don't get me wrong, I like that ability to get more expressive
