Hi!
There ar several swedish voices but they’re really a mess to my ears.
I have to stand them though on my i-devices.

If what I read on Mac Daily News about the lack of an iPhone 6C plus the
discontinuation of the 5C is true, this year will be a very significant year
for iPhone owners. Why? All iPhones from the 5s up are 64 bit. Theoretically,
this means 32 bit is dead as far as the iPhone is concerned.

Hi Tim,
Yes, it is a little frustrating in some senses,
The only other I know about in this space, for the Mac at least, is Cepstral.
However, there seems to be much less choice there, and the voices while
responsive are definitely towards the compact end of the spectrum.
Honestly, my kingdom for a formant synthesiser on OS X. :)
