Ok, glad I'm not the only one who thought the female voices weren't that great lol. I tried those years ago, and can't remember what the name of the female voice one was, but that was the only one that the progra m came with that spoke English, as well as one called Frank, that was in French, and the female voice was really hhigh-pitched and strange sounding at it's normal pitch. I ended up having to change the pitch to it's lowest to actually make it sound normal, and was amazed at how it sounded then; kind of reminded me of Enya, but not something I'd purchase.
