Hi. Why do you like the compact version of Karen? The compact voices sound so robotic. I think the same way about Kate from Neospeech and when I'm on Windows on my Mac, I either use premium Karen with NVDA or James from Neospeech. I also use James in Voice Dream but that's a different topic. And like you, I wish Apple would let users use other voices besides the Nuance Vocalizer Expressive voices like you can on the Mac because I wouldn't mind having other options for voices. It would be cool if I could use the new Rod voice I'm using on my Mac for example.
