While we are on the subject of voices there is one issue I would like to mention. Most licenses for voices restrict your use of them. In particular you are generally not permitted to distribute recording made with them, such as DAISY digital talking books, for example.
In the case of the Infovox iVox voices it would be permitted if you wrote the content and are not a professional writer. In other words, publication of audio files created with the Infovox iVox voices is permitted if the content is personal and you are not publishing the audio files as part of your professional or commercial activities. For professional and commercial use Acapela Group has different kinds of licenses. It is very gracious of Apple not to impose any such restrictions, but probably easier for them too, as creating voices is not their core business.
