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.

(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.

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 - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Gordon Keen To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 10:01 AM Subject: [access-uk] New voices for the next apple operating system 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 G From Bridgerule in glorious Devon, England.
