Installed Infovox iVox voices will remain active/usable on current software/hardware combinations as long as possible, allowing users to re-install their voices on compatible macOS versions. Support for Infovox iVox will end on 31 August 2021. Infovox iVox version 4.6 (recently released) will support macOS 11 (Big Sur) but only on Intel based Macs, and not on the Apple Silicon (M1) processors. Without a positive voice credit balance, you can no longer start a demo period for voices. Remaining voice credits can be used to activate voices until 31 August 2021. You can purchase additional voice credits until 31 December 2020. At the end of this journey, we are grateful for your use of Infovox iVox, support of our efforts, and understanding of this decision.
#Ghostreader software download
(Depending the speed of your internet connection, it may take several minutes to download voices.) Finally, open your application and select the macOS voice you just downloaded.Ĭhange is never easy. Then select a checkbox for a voice you want to download and click the OK button to download the voice.
#Ghostreader software free
If you are using AssistiveWare’s Wrise or ConvenienceWare’s GhostReader and want to switch to the free macOS voices, you can do so by going to System Preferences > Accessibility > Speech, clicking the System Voice popup menu, and selecting Customize… at the bottom of the menu.
Finally, Acapela voices will remain available in our AAC solutions for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. In addition, for people looking to create short audio files for a commercial project using Acapela voices, the Acapela Box web service offers access to the same voices found in Infovox iVox at an affordable rate. So if you are looking for a screenreader using Acapela voices or a way to convert text to audio using Acapela voices, you may want to check out Infovox 4 on PC.
#Ghostreader software windows
Infovox 4 on Windows is not being discontinued. Just to be clear, the Acapela voices are not going away. Installed Infovox iVox voices will remain active/usable on current software/hardware combinations as long as possible, allowing users to re-install their voices on compatible macOS versions.
This was not an easy decision, but with the current pandemic economic crisis, the fact that macOS allows you to download free multilingual voices, and AssistiveWare’s shifted focus toward AAC, we were compelled to bring up the topic we could no longer ignore.
After a long talk and much thought, AssistiveWare and Acapela Group have decided to discontinue development of Infovox iVox due to a shrinking user base and increasing development and support costs. Saying goodbye is never easy, but we are thankful to have you as a friend on this journey. I just received the following from AssistiveWare
