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I think that information is a bit outdated.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.
