The bad news: These new Apple voices cannot be used with a PC in any way, they are completely proprietary for the Mac. The good news: You can buy a Mac Mini for $500. If you already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, you would be all set! Why not purchase one today! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Loy" <loyrg2845@xxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 7:34 AM Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Apple's New Voices These new voices are fantastic. They are the best I've heard. I wonder if these voices could be made available to use on a PC with other applications? Are they SAPI or something totally different? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy VanSandt" <maxvanwon@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, September 06, 2006 1:37 AM Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Apple's New Voices Wow!
