No new voices in 10.6.
You can always purchase extra voices from Acappella Group. People say good
things about the quality of those. However, they're copy protected in some way,
and I haven't been able to find details on exactly how. As best as I can tell,
you only purchase a license to use them on a single Mac, and you can't transfer
to another machine. Since they're expensive, I have to repurchase them when I
get a new computer, and I have to purchase several copies to run on each of my
computers, the whole thing seemed too expensive to contemplate for just
different voices.
I might be wrong. Haven't heard from any users of the voices on details. The
web site doesn't explain how the copy protection works. I e-mailed their
support, but didn't get a response.

Subject: [macvoiceover] VoiceOver Question Concerning Snow Leopard
Hi, Once I have Snow Leopard in my hands, I have a couple of questions? Have
there been any new voices added, and have the quality of voices improved at
all? Not that the speech needs improving, I love the speech in Leopard. I
have a significant hearing loss in one ear and the voices I use most are Agnes,
Alex, Princess, and Victoria because, for me, they are easier for me to
understand with my hearing loss. With the specs I mentioned earlier on my Mac
Mini, Snow Leopard should have no problem running, should it not? Thanks for
any warnings or cautions I would need to watch for. Richie Gardenhire,
Anchorage, Alaska.
