Hi,

Sorry, I have to disagree here about the quality of Realspeak voices.  They
are so unbelievably sluggish that it is just not worth it.  Acapela is far
better and has a smaller memory footprint.

Yes, it is cop protected, but it is quality.

All the best

Steve

For the really high quality voices, I think my favorites are the real speak 
voices from nuance. The acapela voices are good, but they use a copy 
protection scheme that ties the license to a certain computer, I refuse to 
purchase copy protected software when I can avoid it.
