Hello. After downloading the free voices, and installing them, I got quite a shock. After switching to one of these voices using the voice over utility, a message, "This is an evaluation of the voice." or very nearly like that, kept being repeated. I had to get someone from my building to come in and see the screen, while I went in to v o utility, and switched back to Alex. Then I uninstalled the "free" voice. Maybe these were never meant to be used with v o. Just wanted to spread the word, and save someone from going through this. On Aug 16, 2009, at 10:06 AM, Søren Jensen wrote:
