Neospeech, Nuance (RealSpeak), and Ivona. I do believe all of them are SAPI
voices. First installed on your system, you will just have to go to the WE
controlpanel, and under synthesizer, select SAPI. Then tab over to the
installed engines, and do your selection to your hearts delight.
Check out neospeech.com, and ivona.com. Ivona, is quite expensive, but might
be some better quality. The Neospeech voices are not too expensive, but the
quality is not always the best. Besides, my experience is, that Neospeech
voices do have a bit of trouble, when they meet a 'new' word. That is, if
you do throw on the synth, a word that is not usual in English - i.e, if you
do read a text, and a non-English word appears, the voice might get some
strange things out of it, or simply skip the whole business. Not sure, if
this has been fixed in the newest voices.

Hi,
I believe there is a way to make neospeech and realspeak work with window
eyes, not sure how to do it though.
Maybe someone here can tell you.

Hey Pastor and all. I do have one of the Neospeech voices, Julie. She
sounds
much better than Kate and Paul. And now Neospeech has apparently released
a
British voice called Bridget and I want her! Wish I could find a way to
download it. But anyway, I like to try other TTS voices. Like in SA, they
have a better version of Tom from Realspeak, voices from a company called
Ivona, and yes, the Neospeech voices. Sometimes I get tired of hearing
the
same voice everyday so I like to use other voices. Because even I find
Neospeech to robotic at times, haven't heard too much of Bridget except
for
a small sample so I can't really judge, but from the little sample I
heard
she sounds pretty good. Maybe more better than Julie.
