Hmmm. I wish there were some way I could listen to your computer and hearing
what's going on. If you have Skype, I could help you if you're comfortable
adding me. My Skype username is bbstheblindrapper.

I am guessing. Regarding the Russian voice, this file needs to be saved in the
voice over folder. First copy the file from Mountain Lion. It was like this
with the Norwegian voice. Now i could not find it again. Maybe you need to type
something in Terminal to get open some files. To get
Well, maybe I'm getting at the voices the wrong way. You said go through
finder. The only way I could figure to do that was to open my macintosh hd
volume on the desk top in finder, then drill down through system, library etc
to find the voice folders. So maybe I'm missing a more direct path
Hi Mary,
If you are wanting different system voices, go to the system preferences and to
dictation and speech. Choose the speech tab and choose custom voices. There you
will see all of the voices grouped by language. You need to checkmark any voice
that you want to download.

Hi Robert,
I have in fact successfully downloaded some of the new voices. But what I
really want to do is get back some of the old voices, such as Samantha, Tom,
and the Russian voice. And I have not been able to do that. Samantha and Tom
are in the list. I had thought they weren't, but they
What are these new voices? I have Samantha and them, but also have Alison, Ava,
Susan, Oliver and Kate.

Hi Shawn,
So you are saying that Samantha and, presumably also Tom, since he is part of
vocalizer expressive, are still suppose to be available under Mavericks? That
is very interesting. I wonder if there is a way to delete the old files and
somehow reacquire them, although I didn't think I
Hi Mary. I'd suggest trying to re-download them but first go into the finder,
then system, then library, then speech, then voices and delete the old voices
you have from Nuance.

Hi Shawn,

Thanks, Shawn. I don't know why, perhaps because voice over is on? But when I
went into finder as you described, and down to the individual voice folders,
the system isn't letting me delete. I get the ding when I try to do that. Even
opening a folder and then a subfolder within that folder,
Strange. All I do is go to the voice I don't want and press command+backspace
on them. I don't go into any folders, I just wait until I hear Voiceover say,
for example, Samantha.speechvoice and delete it that way. I hope someone else
can chime in here.

Those voices do not appear to be available for download. Maybe I have to
reboot for stuff to fix itself. Did you actually have success downloading
voices again? They seem to have disappeared from the list in the customize tab,
but maybe a reboot will change that.

Hello Mary,
Some voices have indeed disappeared in Mavericks. The French voice Sébastien
has gone and the new voice Aurélie has been added. I have no idea why this has
been done.
Cheers,
Anne

Well, thanks, Anne. At least it isn't me, and I'm not crazy. I was really
surprised about Samantha, because she is the U.S. English voice for IOS still,
and Milena is the Russian voice for IOS. Go figure. Honestly, my real hope, and
I am not holding my breath for it, is that the Ivona tts will
Yes. Mavericks uses the new Vocalizer Expressive engine so the old voices that
you're used to like Jill are no longer in the list. Jill is replaced by a girl
called Ava. As for Samantha, don't know why she's not working for you.

Hi all,
This machine had Mountain Lion, and I had installed some extra voices,
Samantha, Tom and the Russian Milena, along with Jill, I think. Now, with
Mavericks, although those 1st three I mentioned are listed as possible voices,
they seem to have disappeared, and others are available. In
