Hi

 

I just got Leopard working here and I'm trying out the new features of Leopard, one feature I looked forward to was the new voice, Alex, which is supposed to sound more real than earlier text-to-speech voices have done.

 

But I can't find the new voice! My method of installing Leopard was the following:

 

1) Install 10.4.10 mac.nub release

2) Upgrade to ToH 10.5 RC2

 

Is there a way to get Alex installed?

 

I have the original Mac OS X 10.5 DVD too

 

 

For you who haven't seen Alex:

"Alex — A New Voice

Give yourself a new voice. Meet Alex, an English male voice that uses advanced, patented Apple technologies to deliver natural breathing and intonation, even at fast speaking rates."

Edit:

This was easily solved! I used Pacifist to browse the original Leopard DVD, and I installed the package "Contents of AdditionalSpeechVoices.pkg"
