Hi folks People keep talking about voices they don't like, etc. That's ok, but my first computer was an Apple 2 E with an Echo 2 voice. I used to hate Votrax, and that was considerably worse than most of the modern voices I have heard. Since I got used to the Echo 2, I can tollerate almost anything. There are some voices I don't particularly like, but I would use anything that made my computer and/or iPhone accessible. Just my 2 cents.
