If so, which models support them?

They appear to be compatible with all modern units, and also some older ones running current fw. I suppose the 'VCT' in the file name is an acknowledgement that these file were made with Voice Creator Tool, maybe? I know very little about this, but i think VCT is a big step-up from VoiceStudio and allows for non-navigation phases to be inserted in the vpm file. Some info:

The 90 day trial seems generous for the Content Toolkit package (GPI Creator & Voice Creator), but 500 bucks to stay with it cools some enthusiasm i'm sure!

The voices are not tts (don't speak street names.)
I downloaded using the new updated My Dashboard.

I can't find any of these new 'VCT' voices other than the 3 already mentioned. Aussie Matilda sounds like a slightly less metalic/less electronic version of Karen, but pronunciation differs somewhat. Maybe it's just Karen's voice processed differently?
