        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...

                        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
