Hi Chris, I'll agree the new SAPI voices on Windows 8 are fantastic. I agree I wouldn't recommend a new Windows 8 user purchasing the Ivona voices since the new SAPI voices are good enough. However, many people like myself purchased a Windows 7 64-bit machine a year or so back, and since the only

I was wondering, if you download the Ivona voices in Klango, are they available to other applications? You can get them for free that way, although every time I ever tried to download them it was painfully slow, so I gave up. If I could use them as Sappi 5 voices, though, I may try again. On 5/4/1

Hi Chris, Yes, the Ivona voices are some of the best I've ever had the pleasure of using. As I mentioned to Dark over on the Forum I like using Ivona Joey as my play by play announcer in Jim's Football because it sounds so human and just sounds right as a play by play announcer. Ivona Amy would p

Good evening all. Speaking of Sapi Output, I am finding Ivona Tts to work superior with games that use Sapi as output. I use Amy which is one of the British voices. Chris. -- Christopher Hallsworth E-mail and Facebook: challswor...@sky.com Skype: chrishallsworth7266 Twitter: http://www.twitter.
