Well that is a thought. I like Vickie, but she seems to make me type
slower. Are the Vvoices better as far as clerity goes and how much
are just the voices? How long is the free trial and are their any
limitations with Tiger either during or after the trial? Can I use
them just like the chosen VO voices?

I was going to mention the same thing. If it is as good as they

sighted and blind users.
If you are American English speaker and like to listen to a male
voice then definitely wait with buying additional voices until you
have used Leopard with the included Alex voice. But if you are not
an American English speaker or like female voices or voices in
other languages, you will need third party voices as Apple does not
provide high quality female voices, no British voices, American
Spanish voices, or Scandinavian voices, etc. This is where Infovox
iVox might be useful for you.
That I am saying that the price change is not related to the
introduction of Alex does not mean I am suggesting that everyone
needs third party voices. If Alex works well for you and you do not
have other voice needs then don't buy Infovox iVox voices.
