I really would love for this to work, because if it did, I would certainly purchase the IVONA software and a couple of voices, because I love this TTS concept. The default voice I can deal with, but these IVONA voices do sound better.

Edited to add: Ok, I went ahead and gambled and purchased the voice Joey, and thankfully it worked beautifully. I am very pleased with it.
Yeah I'm on Windows 7, good to hear it works on Windows 8.

I love the concept too. Further development of TTS in OOTP15 would be most welcome.

I use Joey mainly although I have also now purchased Kendra which is really smooth and, for me, slightly easier to follow. I've developed a fairly extensive lexicon for Joey which includes all the batting averages plus other changes to help the commentary flow better, PM me your email address if you'd like a copy.

EDIT - Ha, sorry. Typed all that out without seeing your last post. Hopefully this will work if I put in on dropbox...

EDIT2 - Okay that doesn't appear to work, although you can see the changes I've made. PM me and I'll send a copy.
