Well, let me put it this way.
If the eSpeak voices worked on the mac, I would use them. I can and for that
matter do, run eSpeak at full spead on my vinux box and also in windows with
Jaws. I love Alex, but I just don't understand him at that kinda high
speads. The only other voices I can run that fast is the Keynote Voice on
the BrailleNote and Dectalk on my Phone.
Warm regards,
Brandt Steenkamp

Oh come on, the scansoft voices ain't so bad, be thankful it isn't espeak or
Orpheus. I for one think that the swedish scansoft voices are way way better
in terms of language treatment than the Infovox ones.

According to the article found at
http://www.tuaw.com/
Mac OS 10 offers high quality multi-lingual voices,
There are going to be a whole lot of high quality voices, in a variety of
languages, available for download in the next iteration of Apple's os. For
me, the one possible sour note was the reference to Samantha and Tom as an
improvement over Alex that we have now. I hope this will not mean that
Apple will decide to retire Alex in favor of what are, for me at least,
vastly inferior voices in Samantha and Tom. There will be other English
voices, the ones we know on the IPhone. Indeed, it sounds like the voices
that are coming to Lion are those we now have on the I-devices. Great for
speakers of languages other than English. Great for folks who prefer a
non-U.S. English reading voice. But a definite leap backwards if they can
Alex in favor of what's on the IPhone now, even if they include the male
voice.
