Hi. I've used the Acapela voices on here, like them a lot. I do have a few 
negatives though. The first is that in between periods, the voices pause longer 
than the standard Mac voices do. I don't know if this is how Acapela made them 
or if it's because of Voice Over, but it gets annoying after a while. I'd 
rather use good old Mac Alex to read my stuff. Secondly, Assistiveware charges 
you an arm and a leg for Infovox Ivox plus the voices, I think the highest I've 
seen was around $400 and the lowest I've seen was $99 just for a program that's 
not a screen reader. I told them that I was interested in buying the voices but 
don't want to pay the high price for them and they told me to try Ghost Reader 
which the voices won't work with Voice Over from what I heard. But all in all, 
I like the voices. I can't wait to try out Acapela Tracy, the new US English 
female voice they just released. She's available for Infovox 3 on the PC and 
should be available soon for Infovox Ivox or so Assistiveware has told me. Go 
to acapelagroup.com and listen to how she sounds. You might be surprised.

Shawn
