This is kind of a gray area and a bit of a stretch which I could see vearing
off topic, so I'm gonna keep this fairly terse, but in short, I don't know
how Voiceover on the back end calls to the voice engines. I know that you
can take a Linux based package and port it over to the mac, provided that it
has a cli. You'd not be able to get any of the gnu gui applications that
you'd run under gnome to work. At least not with major major major work and
probably some disassembling, which obviously would be totally! against
Apples terms of service/policy. Not only this, but there are certain
dependencies you'd also have to compile, probably even from source, and
would have to probably even go so far as to uncompile, port/modify, then re!
compile with the modifications. Being Voxin isn't open source, I don't see
how this could be possible without doing things you shouldn't. Furthermore,
as I said above: ok, so, yeah? you get it, and all the necessary
dependencies and libraries installed. Voxin, even the newest version, is
somewhat legacy, which means it has code that has been deprecated to the
back svn trunk, so the odds that you're going to get things to play nicely
across the board are slim. You may get Voxin working, but you'd probably
break other things pretty badly in the process. Plus, you'd need either
gnome-speech, or speech-dispatcher, as those are currently the only two
drivers that voxin supports for output. Apple doesn't rely on either of
those for voiceover, and I also can tell you that if you got either of those
two, you'd have to either pipe them through Alsa, or through pulseaudio,
which again, the kext drivers for OSX on the Mac probably do not use for
audio in/out.
I'm not saying either that it couldn't be done, Glenn, but my God! would it
be a pain in my you know what!
Chris.

I believe that both Linux and OSX are based on Unix, so I would think that
Voxin could be made to run on a Mac.

I would agree, Eloquence would be a nice addition. Its on Linux, as Voxin
though :)

Ah, yes. Still I'd love Samantha to be replaced by Alex. And honestly
microsoft got one thing right when they made their own voices for the
languages. Sure most of them are in 8k at the moment, but still they
made
their own voices. Sure they're unresponsive, unlike Neuances voices, but
they work. I still think Alex is the best voice in all systems.

experienced it. You need to have your phone plugged in and connected
to wifi in order for the voice to download. and once you switch the

No. the new once voices are compact on the phone. I think only a
few
hq voices are available and only 1 at a time because of their size.
and I do notice a slight decrease in performance when using them on
my phone which is a 5.
Take care.
