Hey Phil, I can understand why you would suggest buying a voice! The links you gave me had quite the variety of them. I was pretty stoked to find that Real Speak has an Australian one called Karen, which isn't too bad!
The Ivona Amy voice is my favourite from the pages you've linked to. It's amazing to hear the difference between the voice I've got in Winfrotz TTS to a properly paced voice using a screen reader program. Do you know much about the Ivona Bright Voice technology, or the NVDA screen reader they offer? Cheers, Neophyte.

The better ones need to be purchased and cost from $35 to $45 US per voice. You can check out the demos at, http://www.nextup.com They carry the A T and T voices. I prefer the Crystal and Mike US English voices. I read a review that said that most sighted players who use voices like Acapela Heather the best which Next up also sells. A new company, IVONA Text To Speech, has some interesting voices, http://www.ivona.com/# sincerely, Phil --- Gamers mailing list __ [email protected] If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to [email protected].
