Cepstral Voices version 4.0.3.1

[Gordon Smith]

Hi.  This build of the Cepstral voices represents a tremendous  
breakthrough in terms of stability and usability.  Firstly, and  
perhaps most importantly of allo, the previously persistant crashes  
and high CPU usage issues have been resolved.  Secondly, when you  
toggle through open windows using Command+Tab, previous versions of  
the voices would cause a lack of speech from VO, and VO itself would  
become unstable, and relaunches were frequent, along with busy  
indicators.  These issues have been resolved.  I have been using  
several of the Cepstral voices for a couple of days now, and there  
have been absolutely no incidents of any of these issues occurring.   
I have been working with Cepstral to try and nail this for several  
weeks, and I'm very pleased with the responses I got from the  
company, and absolutely delighted with their willingness to work to  
resolve these issues.  I now have no problem at all with recommending  
the Cepstral voices to others, as long as the 4.0.3.1 build is used.   
It's great to be able to report a positive outcome of working with a  
developer.  And Cepstral should be congratulated for their efforts.   
Now we really do have a viable alternative to the Apple voices, which  
I have always found to be very harsh.
