This is a major detraction of the IPhone. I've put in a request several times to have apple open up the speech API so that synthesizers could be shared across applications but nothing doing.
It's not even just voiceover. It's all self-voicing applications. If I buy acapella voices for prismo, and then I want to use them in navigon, forget it. If I buy loquendo voices for my voice communication aid and want to use them in prismo, sorry, nop. One reason I especially love my android is that I have a choice of ivona, loquendo, svox, and hopefully soon acapella voices that will work with talkback and any other application I choose. Vocalizer isn't as bad as svox or pico, but if it's an improvement on realspeak I'm not sure how. It's pronunciation is pretty horrible. It's useless for street names in gps applications for example.
