I tried changing the content voice to Cepstral David, which is licensed. This
was a very bad idea. Voiceover crashed as soon as it was started and tried to
speak something with that voice. I had to get sighted assistance to change the
content voice back to default and then I uninstalled David and William. Maybe
the Infovox would work better, but I'm scared to try them now.
