Yes you are right all technology is not for all people. That is to
say I respect all accessible platforms and I should not have said
that or at least in that way.

You know what. I am currently at the Closing The Gap conference and
had someone today come by and tell me these were the best kids
voices he had ever heard. So it is all a matter of perspective.
Because it is illegal in most countries to lock kids into recording
booths for a long time and it takes a lot of expertise to speak
correctly for voice recording, kid voices are not recorded but
transformed adult voices. So naturally they are not as good as
adult voice. I am not to crazy about them either. But, kids who
cannot speak really much prefer using the kid voices then using
adult voices, so it is good that they are there.
