Infovox iVox 1.3 :
new voices available!

Acapela Group and AssistiveWare- worldwide leader in innovative assistive technology software for Mac OS X-  announced the release of Infovox iVox 1.3 with new voices and new languages.

Infovox iVox 1.3, which let you access to your computer through a screen reader, check your spelling and read any selected text through a document reader application, and give a voice to any other application supporting voice output, with smooth and pleasant tones,offers new Mac voices for Italian, British, Russian, Greek and Norwegian.

Infovox iVox provides natural-sounding voices for multiple languages that work with virtually any Speech Manager compliant Mac OS X application.

Also, as of today the School license (max 150 computers) has been expanded to no longer be limited to deployment in a single school but allow allocation to machines in multiple schools of a district.

Infovox iVox 1.3 is a free upgrade for existing users that adds a host of new voices and languages: Vittorio for Italian, Rachel for British, Alyona for Russian, Dimitris for Greek, and Olav for Norwegian. The Russian and Greek voices require Mac OS X 10.5. The other voices require 10.3.9 or later.

Infovox iVox can be used with Apple's VoiceOver screen reader as well as many Mac OS X applications, including Preview, TextEdit, AssistiveWare's VisioVoice and Proloquo, ConvenienceWare GhostReader, and Adobe Acrobat. The voices also work great with the leading educational software, such as Kurzweil 3000 for Macintosh version 3.0.4 and 4.0 and TextHelp's Read and Write Gold for Mac version 2.1.0 and later. This means that teachers can now use this best-of-breed software with the industry leading Infovox iVox voices to enhance the learning experience of their students.
