Hi,
I am using Voiceover with Excel and vo reads negative numbers.
In the text tab of verbosity settings in vo utility, do you have numbers read
as words?

Sometimes such things are voice dependent quirks. Use the voice roter to pick
a temp voice or two.
Otherwise, try a more positive attitude.

A question on these voices. I see that a single credit is US$14.99. So one
credit allows me to download one voice. I get that. But if I wanted to change
to another of their voices, can I trade in the one I don’w want in exchange for
another, or do I need to buy another credit?
