I've already sent this issue to Winston but I'm curious if others are also experiencing it.
I upgraded both VDR and VDW to the latest versions in the last couple of days and re-downloaded my purchased voices in VDR. When I go into Writer and select audio settings, I note that my downloaded voices are there but the high quality built-in iOS voices that I use with VO are not listed. I lean toward using Samantha since I've gotten used to her and that default English voice on my iPhone is not available in VDW. I suspect this is one of the bugs Winston will be fixing but I wanted to ask if others are also experiencing it. Thanks.

He will let you know if it is possible to add that feature.

Also, why can't we add words to the dictionary or whatever, so that the word is not displayed in the checker anymore?

My issue is that when I updated vdr and vdw and got the voices, they work in vdr, but not in VDW. Does anyone know why this is? I'd rather not redownload the voices, as they cannot be downloaded on the school wifi network for some reason, but they can on the verizon data network. So yeah, I'd rather not use up another 200 gigs for that. >> >> Sent from my iPhone >> >>> On Feb 23, 2015, at 11:22 PM, Sieghard Weitzel <[email protected]> wrote: >>> >>> How subjective synthetic voices are to people is evident in how much many like Alex while I think he sounds quite bad.

I know we had a big discussion about that a few months ago. So I always say to each his or her own. But at this point for me, it would be Kendra or Ashley on the female side and James on the male side.

I did get to hear the sample. I did not get the error that people have talked about. I suppose that some people might think Ashley sounds rather flat. If you are for example, a fan of the ivona is Sally voice, you probably won't like Ashley. She is sort of like a female James, as far as intonation goes. But I still think James is better.I would use her for reading nonfiction if I didn't want to use James. I don't think I would like her for novels with emotional scenes in them. But, to each their own of course. >>>>> Mary >>>>> >>>>> >>>>> Sent from my iPhone >>>>> >>>>>> On Feb 23, 2015, at 10:56 AM, BBS <[email protected]> wrote: >>>>>> >>>>>> How does Ashley sound?

However, the Ashley voice did not show up as having been purchased. And, when I look under and voices, I see Ashley, and it asks me to purchase it again. I have never had this problem in the past. Voices purchased on one device were always transferable to another device by simply downloading them under the manage my voices tap. Has anyone purchased a voice since updating voice dream reader? And have you been able to get that voice on more than one device? >>>>>> Mary >>>>>> >>>>>> >>>>>> Sent from my iPad >>>>>> >>>>>> -- >>>>>> The following information is important for all members of the viphone list.
