I must agree. Digital voices are not ideal in the slightest for daily
screen reader use, but the realspeak voices are at least 10 years old
and so impossibly primitive and power hungry I can't imagine using
them for anything. The ATT ones are almost as bad. Even Neospeach is
more effective, but sepstril and acapella are the slickest yet. I
have acapella n my mobile phone and would love to own some for my pc.
They're not rediculously expensive either, about $35 per voice.

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.

Hi Raul,
They are nowhere near as good or responsive as the Acapela voices. I
wouldn't bother mate. <Smile>.

This is interesting seeing is how the company charges thousands of
dollars to use their high tech voices. So, if an end user has them,
either the end user works for a large company who can shell out the
bucks, or the end user got them via shadowy means. I too would be
interested in this because I've heard recordings of some of these
voices
are they are pretty good if you will be using them for slower
reading. I
would not recommend them at higher speeds though.

Hi Josh, where did you buy loquendo voices? I emailed the company
yesterday morning to ask where to buy since the loquendo website is
basicly for developers, but they haven't responded.
best,
Erik

Hi,
I am having a problem with the loquendo voices. When I choose them
from the window-eyes control panel, the voices do not load and I
get
no speech until I switch back to eloquence with the beta. But if I
choose loquendo from the windows control panel under the text to
speech tab under speech, then loquendo voices talk in there.
Also, the
ScanSoft voices speak just fine under window-eyes, so why not
loquendo?
