The Portuguese voice needs LOTS of work. In searching to see the topic of this post has not already been discussed,
Not only is it overly-mechanical, but the speech is so 'clipped' and rapid that intellibility suffers. The speech is such that the words are all connected together. Sometime it helps to place many commas into the souce text, but occasionally even that does not work. For some reason, the American English voice is of very good quality. Thanks for listening!
