How to replace the generic google voice?

[mystvearn]

I kind of hate the voice used for navigation, alarm clock. Seems everything is using that same voice. Too robotic for my liking. I found ivona, IVONA Text-to-Speech Voices | TTS Voices | Text To Voice

not sure how good it is. Is there a better app than ivona?

I recently DL Ivona and starting using. Although it does sound much nicer, I've had problems with it not working, or having 2 voices working at the same time. I haven't had time to troubleshoot it all, but I was hoping that someone with experience could spell how it's all supposed to work.

I just tried it with alarm clock plus, does not work. Annoying. Uninstalled it. Great stuff, just hope they can fix the bugs

Ivona voice sounds the best hands down (especially Amy and the new not yet on Android Salli voice). Works great on all apps for me. Sadly, whenever I reboot phone, Ivona no longer works. Only fix is to reinstall the whole thing which is a total PITA. I still do it though cause it sounds so much better then any of the other choices.
