UPDATE:
If you’ve been experiencing an issue with NeoSpeech voices, good news...we have a fix! Please update VDR to 4.1.1. So sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks for your patience!
...Voice Dream Team.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you’re experiencing an issue with NeoSpeech voices, we’re aware of
it and a fix will be released very shortly. NeoSpeech gave us a bad
license file a year ago.
We’re so sorry for the inconvenience. Rest assured that it’ll be fixed
as soon as we possibly can, and it won’t happen again!
In the mean time, you could set the date of your device before
3/12/2017. But we don’t advise that, since it can cause other issues.
Thanks!
Voice Dream Team.
Great news: we were able to find another company to license Ivona voices. Happy new year everyone!
Starting 1/1/2017, we can no longer sell Ivona voices. If you’re thinking about buying one, please do it now with caveats below.
People who bought Ivona voices before 1/1/2017 can continue to download and use them.
Ivona/Amazon terminated our licensing agreement. They have stopped selling and supporting mobile voices to focus on Cloud.
...Because Ivona will no longer update these products -- like all software -- they will stop working at some point. (Think the software you bought that run on Windows 95.) This might take 2 years, or 5 years. We don’t know, but we will do our best to make sure that Voice Dream customers can use these voices for as long as possible.
Sorry. We’re not happy about this, but there is nothing we can do.
