Complements of the season to everyone Speech synthesis is very subjective. many of us old curmudgeons cut our teeth on devices like Tri-Formation terminals, Type and Speak etc. There isn't much value in trying to convince many of us that one synthesizer is awful, because we use them when different expectations. Personally I want the information and I want to get at it quickly, so responsiveness is what I am looking for. As long as I can understand it, I'm happy.
If I am looking for something more leisurely then I want a good sounding synthesizer in those situations where I am reading a book for pleasure. And that is if I cannot find it professionally narrated by a person. heck it might even be impossible to come to a consensus when it comes to male Vs female voices, pitch, rate, tone and level of punctuation spoken.
