Hey Chris. Actually, you can get Nicky and Aaron for the Vocalizer Expressive driver for NVDA. If you'd like, email me off list and I'll send you a copy of the Vocalizer Expressive driver plus the Siri voices through dropbox since I hink you've said that you use NVDA on Windows. Although really I would love to see them available for OS X Yosemite. If someone's a beta tester, please, if I don't become a beta tester myself, request that the Siri voices be available for Yosemite and I think they should know that a program on Windows has them so it would be nice if we could use them on the Mac. BTW, I think the female Siri voice, Nicky sounds a heck of a lot better on NVDA then she does on the iPhone.
