He has become the voice of blind people, and I hate him, not John Briggs
himself, flaming Daniel!! (smiling with a growl).

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
<http://nextupdownloads.com/scansamples/samantha.wav> 

                English British Accent - Serena
<http://nextupdownloads.com/scansamples/serena.wav> 

                Cheers
