Hi Clive.

Will the latest cd be available for digital download from the likes of ITunes 
or streamable through Spotify?  I have consigned my cd collection to a dark 
corner never to see the light again, so these options would be preferable 
rather than having to have a disk posted to me.

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all,

anyone know who actually voiced Serena, and whether it is likely that Apple 
will pick up on Daniel? (I have, by the way. He was voiced by Jon Briggs 
(Weakest Link, BBC Radio Berkshire), and the real man behind the voice will be 
on Guide Cats vol. 5 (Herding Cats) which should be out in time for Sight 
Village.

Regards,
Clive

Well, I hope, but doubt that they would sound better under Voice Over. I hate 
them. Still too mechanical. Why do these voices always sound as though they're 
gargling as they speak? I'd hoped by now we'd be having a more naturally 
flowing voice -

  Hi 
  Thought some of you might want a listen to these, what do you think of them...


  Begin forwarded message:

    Hello 

    Here are samples of a couple of the new voices in Lion which have been 
doing the rounds. These aren't generated through Apple's speech engine, they're 
the same voices used by another service so the samples are generated from that. 
They may or may not sound better when used in VoiceOver:

    English American Accent – Samantha

    English British Accent – Serena

    Cheers
