Hi everyone. I've been meaning to send this out to you guys but I was catching up on around 85 emails so here goes. I have an explanation of why the old Norweigion voice that people are used to is no longer used. I actually read this on the Viphone list and I wanted to inform you as well. The reason why that voice is no longer in the iPhone is because Nuance has stopped supporting the Vocalizer Automotive version 5.5 engine, which was present in iOS6 and I think is present in OS X Mountain Lion. Because of this, Apple is now using Nuance's new TTS engine, Vocalizer Expressive. This new version of Vocalizer has new voices, and as some of you that are using the Australian Karen voice may notice, she sounds way better in this version. So for people that want the old voices back, it won't happen because like I said, Vocalizer Automotive 5.5 is no longer supported by Nuance. Also if I may add, it's inevitable that this new Vocalizer Expressive engine will also be coming to OS X Mavericks when it comes out.
