Just bought Ivona 2 Kendra English US from ivona.com Pretty good, but strange/different. Low tones in the voice. So, if you like some peace and quiet and low frequency tones this one seems good.

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. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Tyler Juranek" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]>; <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, October 10, 2010 1:10 PM Subject: Re: Robotic 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. > Tyler > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "bbs" <[email protected]> > To: "GW Micro Product Discussion Listserv" <[email protected]> > Date: Saturday, Oct 9, 2010 23:43:41 > Subject: Re: Robotic Voices > >> >> >> Hey Pastor and all.
