No, Flor, Not heard the Ivona voices.
Agree about the Nuance expressive voices. To be honest, won't be switching
away from Eloquence with Jaws any time soon ... assuming FS don't decide to
stop providing eloquence now that Nuance are no longer maintaining it.

Have you tried or heard any of the Ivona voices?
JAWS14 and now 15 has drivers for the (Nuance) Vocalizer and (Nuance)
Vocalizer Expressive voices respectively, which also suffer from those
limitations.
