Hi Guys,
On the mac visionaries website there is a link where you can buy
voices for vo. Has anyone done this? How hard is it to install
them? And, finally, I didn't see any prices listed what is the price?
I think that information is a bit outdated. You now have two options.
The Cepstral voices (in that link) for $30 a piece, or the Infovox
iVox voices you can listen to here: http://www.assistiveware.com/
ivoxsamples.php and download as a fully functional 30 day demo here:
http://www.assistiveware.com/voicedownload.php
The Infovox iVox voices are sold per language, not per voice. For US
English you pay $99 for 5 high quality voices (3 adult and 2 kid
voices). Other languages are also available.
I will leave it to others to comment on differences in quality and
stability when used with VoiceOver between the Cepstral and the
Infovox iVox voices. Or, you can try for yourself. We distribute the
Infovox iVox voices so I do not think I should be the person to make
that comparison. Other people on the list have experience with both
and I am sure can share their insights.
Cheers,
david.
