Acapela Voices For Mac

By Scott Duck, 5 May, 2022

macOS and Mac Apps

I have recently installed VoiceDream Reader for Mac. On Reader for IOS, I use the Acapela voice Heather. I would like to obtain the Heather voice to use with VoiceDream on the Mac. However, it is my understanding that Acapela voices can no longer be obtained for Mac OS. Is my understanding correct? I know that Infovox iVox has been discontinued but I thought it might be possible to get Heather onto the Mac some other way, perhaps through some other Acapela product. I am not looking for a hack. If it cannot be done easily and legally, I am not interested.

Some will probably point out that there are many voices that are better than Heather. TTS voice preference is a very subjective thing and, while I like Alex and some of the other Apple system TTS voices just fine, I prefer heather for book reading. If I can no longer get her, that's fine, Alex it will be.
