Third party voices are showing up in Dictation & Speech on Mac, but not in Captivate 8?

Can anyone let me know what I could be doing wrong or make any suggestions for me? I have installed Infovox iVox : Text to Speech voices for Mac | AssistiveWare (Acapela voices) and am trying to use the "Heather" voice. I downloaded/installed the voice and when I go to System Preferences > Dictation & Speech I can see/hear the voice in there. So, I'm assuming it complies with the OS's speech API fine. I tried relaunching Captivate and even restarted my machine, but I still cannot see "Heather" as an option in the drop-down in the Speech Management window in Captivate 8. I checked the system files and I can see the folder/files for the voice, it's right beside all the other stock Mac ones that are available in Captivate. Any ideas?

Mac OS X 10.9.5

Captivate 8 (Version 8.0.1.242)

Thank you in advance!

Liz

HI lizroy,

Did you get any update on this?

I have exactly same requirement and machine config and would love to go ahead and make a purchase of the voice. But if its not working on CP8 I will be stumped.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Yoosaf Abdulla
