If you don’t mind a copy of their “Lite” version that often ships with audio hardware, you can google a method to generate a valid license key for that version that doesn’t require buying anything. ;)

I’ve found in my experience that over the years my internal voice updated to match how I sound when recorded. So when I hear myself speaking on a recording it’s much less jarring now since it feels much more like how I predicted it would sound.

I know this doesn’t help your current situation but it’s a fun fact I recognized since you mentioned it.

I miss lockpicking, it’s so cathartic. I used to have a small set of picks and folks near my desk at the office would often try to pop a padlock I kept around when we were bored. I liked how everyone seemed so interested in the ease with which you can pop many locks.
