Unfortunately no. However, if Apple uses the same vocalizer system for Alex as they do for the siri voices, we'll get him on Windows and such thanks to NVDA's vocalizer addon. On 8/7/2014 2:33 PM, Hank Smith, and Seeing-eye dog Iona wrote: Hello any one know if the 5th gen ipod will get alex?

You're kinda missing the point here. Nuance didn't create Alex, Apple did. I think it would be a million years until they let one of their voices b on a Windows machine. The Siri voices we got now are from Nuance and that's why they can be used with NVDA. Shawn Sent From My White MacBook On
