No rush, I won't have time again until the weekend.

If the Microsoft Voices aren't what you like, as far as I know the only way of getting more is with cold, hard cash, I'm afraid. Still, as an Apple user you'll probably be used to that.  I bought my Ivona, Acapela, Nuance and AT&T Windows Voices via the NextUp company where I'd originally bought the TextAloud app 15 years ago. I like the Ivona Voices best but don't know how they would compare with a Mac's built-in Voices. |

Well yes, Mac can be costlier however in my Mac Air (1st ed). I had builtin if I recall approximately 10 voices to chose and were a far above quality: from British, Irish, Indian, Australian both Male and Female so that I could choose what type of mood to set per book, series etc. The qualityIt was a rude awakening that in windows you have nothing easily set to do TTS and then once you can get it figured out you are left with David and Hazel and even at that often you're stuck with just one or the other for no reasonable explanation other than someone at windows is either thinking someone can cash in on it or are very short sighted.

Anyhow, I'll settle for the ones builtin for now and see how things pan out this year with things. I may just replace the HD in my Air since I can't give up the windows computer due to work and compatibility etc.
