Widget Wednesday: Vocero

One of the very early features I was excited about in Leopard was the new synthesized text-to-speech voice, Alex, which sounded very good, and much more natural than “Bruce” or “Agnes” which were seemingly inherited from Mac OS 9. While Leopard’s “Alex” does indeed sound great, it hasn’t been put it to good use, until now.
