The boxed version of VOXATC comes with four AT&T natural voices, that are not part of the download version.  The box is an older version of 6.0, but you can upgrade at no cost, so you get the four voices "free."   AT&T Mel, Charles, Mike and Crystal are all are good.  I also have the IVONA five pack of American voices, which are better, IMHO.  My favorite voices are the two IVONA Australian voices of Russell and Nicole.  They both have a strong accent and are a gas when flying ORBX Australia and New Zealand.  I've been lucky enough over the past four years with VOXATC to have accumulated a good number of voices (including Microsoft Anna), which really makes for an interesting flight if you can get the VOXATC traffic slider up to at least 50%.           

For free ?

@ Vonmar,

 

"Tell us how well you enjoy the purchased voice-packs after you use them."

 

Tested the voices with VoxAtc (controllers's voices). All work perfectly. English is not my native language, so, they are very understandable for me.

 

"This is my first time working with voice packs .. or wondering if specific ones will work properly with Win7 and VoxATC."

 

 Confirm : Work properly with Win7 and VoxATC.

Richard,

 

Thanks for the follow up here on the voice pack you purchased.

 

I tried Mike's voice (AT&T).

 

heading 2, 3, 0, descend and maintain 2000

 

It sounded real good.

Also, on my last problem : ""Right now I cannot get past contacting FSS ON 122.1 on the test flight KMCI-KOMA ." I had the same problem with this flight in P3D V2.2 and FSX Acceleration. Athe the same point .. contacting FSS.

 

I set up a new flight and plan using P3D v2.2 KACY-KJFK vfr (Maul aircraft)  and it had no problems with FSS or contacting departure after takeoff.

This FSS was named Utopia (not a name on my charts) 122.2 ... it worked.

 

So, I will just use this flight for my training.

If you don't have AT&T Natural voices Mike and Crystal, you can get both for $35 at http://nextup.com

 

I went to this site .. nice voices.

 

I noticed on prices here: http://sites.fastspring.com/nextup/product/attprevious?store=parameters

 

AT&T Natural voices for previous buyers:

Discounted bundle of Crystal and Mike, 16kHz US English Voices $25.00

These voices can only be purchased at this price if you are or have previously purchased TextAloud. If you do not yet have TextAloud, you can add it now for $29.95:

 

Did you purchase this TextAloud?

 

Or did you purchase each voice pack at $35 each, total $70?

Vaughn,

 

Go to nextup.com, click on AT&T Natural Voices.  I assume that you are a new buyer so click on "buy now" on the new buyer side.  You will see a Mike and Crystal bundle for $35.  Scroll down and uncheck the add text aloud box.  Now click "Order Now" and you should be good to go.

 

TextAloud is not needed for VOXATC or other TTS applications.  

Tom,

 

"Scroll down and uncheck the add text aloud box"

 

Yep, that sounds good for me!

 

"TextAloud is not needed for VOXATC or other TTS applications.  "

That is what I thought was required prior to the bundle price. Now I know better!

 

Thanks for the help.

 

Have a good evening.

VOXATC box at FS Pilot Shop is $89.95 US plus shipping.  Even cheaper with a coupon.  Around $78 US plus shipping at PC Aviator Australia.   $77 US for download.  $13 US or less extra isn't bad for 4 ATT voices.
