Yes I have tried the rest of the male voices in the collection but I keep either coming back to Alex or Daniel. They seem at least to my ears, to be more understandable. I have tried the female ones but with them I find a lot of the time I'll miss a lot of words and by then I've completely lost sense of the text being spoken aloud. I'm glad there are some here who know how I feel about these voices as they do too.
