it depends on what you were brought up on.
I only got into human speech in 2001
I was brought up firstly with the keynote gold, then the gemini,
then orpheus1.
I have been able to stand espeak for ages and actually like it over
some human sounding systems, but then its the background.
Dos was the only system I had for the first 5 years.
then windows 9x for about 8 years still on the same setup.
I never got into real voices till 2008.
And it was only through fortune of getting someone's jaws8 realspeak
image that I even bothered with human voices at all.
Its doubtfull that I will ever get lagit voices since I don't really
care but if I ever buy it will be the english, us and au and maybe uk
ivonas 100 for each pack, english uk and us which supports nvda so 200.
I may also get a japanese voice for some games to.
But thats a major if now.

That's definitely unusual. In my case listening to some of the
synthetic voices for a long stretch drives me up the wall. The less
human the voice like Eloquence or ESpeak the more irritating I find
it. I guess I've adapted to Eloquence and ESpeak, as I use them all
the time with NVDA, but the more human voices like the AT&T voices are
definitely preferable in terms of human quality. I find games that use
human voices for menus, status messages, much better.
