Thanks Keith. Are there any other sources for Apple voices? I have issues with
the way Alex pronounces some things, and he can get a little boring. The other
voices aren't crisp and clear either. This may sound dopey, but I'm looking for
a voice that sounds like Jaws with Eloquence, blasphemy I know, but I've got a
good reason. I do a lot of public speaking and reading, and the robotic nature
of eloquence is less distracting coming through my earpiece. I also find it
tougher to crank up the speed on the natural voices without distorting the
effect.
Cheers,
Ian
