Can I install several premium voices if jailbroken?

Hi All! I am very frustrated with the fact that you can only install one premium voice at a time in iOS. My device's language and region format are set to United States English but I use Siri in Spanish; I would like to be able to use premium English Voiceover voices but iOS instead only downloads the premium voice that corresponds to Siri's language. My questions are, if I jailbreak my iPhone and iPad, is there a way to install several premium voices and quickly access them in Voiceover's language rotor? Or, if not, is there a way to make Voiceover use a different premium voice than the one for the language selected for Siri? Thanks!

Hi Robert, If you are jailbroken, Yes, You can install multiple premium voices and have them on the language rotor all at the same time. However, You need to get in touch to the people who know how to do it because as of now, the tweak to make this happen is still not available on Cydia for some technical reason. Actually, My friend in Thailand has made some Dev files, so people can install the tweak automatically, and he is also the one who discovered the ways to do this. I know how to do this process manually, but I strongly preferred anybody to install this automatically due to technicality of the process. As of now , we are still waiting for the release of the 6.1 JB to see if there are any changes on the file system of the iOS. You can follow my friend and I on Twitter if you want to know more update about the progress of the voices. Musicruz@Twitter or my Friend Chirag_kakad@Twitter

Hi Musicruz, I've just followed you on twitter. I'm plannimm to jailbreak when the 6.1 jailbreak is available in the next day or so. This may be a long shot, but when jailbroken is it possible to use alternative keyboards such as Fleksy system wide? As well as iDownloadBlog, are there any other resources that you would recommend? Cheers, Dave

HI David, although there are a lot of web site related with JB, when it comes to JB stuffs, I only trust the IDB because they are being promoted by the JB developers. As far as integrating the Flexsy keyboard across the OS, unfortunately, we haven't figured that out yet. We've been trying to do that for a while now. We are currently trying to get in touch with the other JB developers, so we can make this awesome thing to happen. Regards, @Musicruz@Twitter

Hi Musicruz, Thanks for the quick reply, I will create a Twitter account and follow you. Will you also be posting a guide on how to do it here on the Applevis site? I wouldn't mind doing it manually, I think I can manage it. Thanks again!

To tell you honestly, I don't know. I don't consider myself as the owner of this tweak at all, so I'm not on the position if there would be a tutorial or what so ever in regards with this. I'll talk to my friend to see what his say about this matter. Musicruz@Twitter

Hi Musicruz. Thanks, hopefully you or your friend could post a guide here; I think that many Applevis members would be interested. Good luck!
