Hi, I updated using software update, which now takes you to the App Store instead of the software update dialog, FYI. I haven't noticed any difference in clarity of Paulina, but I also haven't been using it with headphones, and I haven't read any spanish with it yet; I've merely tested it by moving around on my desktop with my English document names, which, of course, is not the best way to test it's pronunciation improvements. :) Once I do, however, I will let you know.
