Hi Bryan, Oh, I don't know about that. I have gotten use to Espeak and it isn't that bad once you get use to it. Of course, it is the default voice on Linux and I have used it with NVDA a lot so I probably have just grown use to the sound of Espeak. Either way, the voice of Keynote use to get

Hi Dark, Lol. No, Angela Carter wasn't suppose to be Australian, but I didn't see the voice of the game as being representative of her voice or nationality. I just considered the voice of the game as the TTS output. Nothing more and nothing less. I could have used Realspeak Tom as the TTS output

Hi Tom. I do see your point on tts voices in menus just being the audio equivolent of text printed to the screen in a graphical game, rather than the sort of sound you'd get in a cut scene, but I actually sort of liked the idea of Angela Carter as an Ozy. The fifth doctor had an asistant

Hi tom. The orphius voice you heard was likely synthetic dave, which is indeed very robotic. However, in Supernova version 6 dolphin started shipping the human voices as default, and if you hear my podcast about the fighting fatnasy project game that I made in 2007, it has that voice.

Before people get excited, I will say this name is somewhat missleading, however of all the Ios games I've tried this is the only one to work with Vo so I might well mention it. The game is very much a grinder of the same variety of dragon tavern, time hunters etc. Choose a class, then

Hi Dark, I don't think I have ever heard your Fighting Fantasy podcast, but I'd like to hear it if you have a link to it. Not just for the voices, but I'd be interested in hearing it for its own sake. As for the Vocalizer voices there are actually three different versions on the market.
