Personally I'm the opposite as far as eloquence goes. Its UK accent just
sounds wrong to me for some reason. The interesting part though is that
I totally think the reverse with eSpeak. I like its UK accent but can't
stand the US one.
As far as the more natural voices, my favourites would probably be
neospeech Paul, acapela Peter and Ivona Geraint (that one came out a
week ago or so, so it's quite new).
Oh and yes, I also prefer human speech verses TTS

Hi Bryan,
Oh, I like the U.K. version of Eloquence as well. I like to leave it
set on Justin because I think he sounds better than Reed.
I also agree I can put up with almost any SAPI voice for menus and
things like that, but not for cutscenes and game commentary. One of
the things that bothers me about the wrestling game I'm working on is
commentary.
Right now any time you perform a move SAPI acts as a ring side
commintator. Ok, it works, but I can't get into it. I'd prefer a human
to actually call out the moves rather than SAPI.
Cheers!

Interestingly enough I prefer the UK English version of the Elloquence
synthesizer. I don't know, I just could never stand the American one.
But as far as synthes in games go I'm pretty set in my ways. Sapi for
status info is fine, but never, and I mean never, should synthes be
used for actual characters unless, and that being the key word, they
happen to be robot or computer characters. To be qite frank tat's
probably the biggest reason I can never manage to maintain my interest
in the Sarah game.
