I would think that the loss of these voice products would also affect the
dyslexic. That could be quite a number of people.

Agreed. Everyone has their own personal preference. I personally don’t use
Alex. I just don’t care for it. Some people love the Alex voice and that’s
totally cool by me. The more the merrier. :) I love to have multiple choices
for my mood. I also sometimes prefer a different voice or accent depe

Well, Apparently what Richard said, Winston is in the process of bringing Alex
to VDR. And I don't think you have to worry about there being no sales of other
voices. Many people don't like how Alex sounds.

I sure hope so. I think he's still working on new stuff for Voice Dream Reader,
like 3d touch and all that. If Alex were for Voice Dream Reader though, he may
not get sales from many other voices though, lol.

IMHO, one's choice of a speech synthesizer comes down to personal
preference. I use Eloquence, Samantha, Google TTS and eSpeak. I feel the
most efficient and productive with eSpeak. I don't see why you have to
deny me the speech synthesizer I want to use just because you prefer
another. I serio
True about Esperanto. Then again, I don't know any Esperanto speakers. In fact,
it is a made up language of sorts. So no one speaks at natively. Not high on
the to do list, I shouldn't think. However, more language support is a great
thing, and other speech companies are making strides in that d
I bet if TTS companies wanted to, they could make the same languages that
ESpeak has. Acapela is slowly getting there, just give it time. But I agree
100% with Mary. If I had to listen to a robotic sounding voice like E-Speak

Well, I don't think the Ivona voices were all that good anyways. Just my

Yes, but eSpeak's language support is better than any other speech system out
there today. Not even Vocalizer has an Esperanto voice.

Yes, voices have come along way. That is precisely why I will never ever use
e-speak. Back in the 1980s, that sounded better than espeak. that I know it's a
personal preference deal. Bute-speak for reading for pleasure? Not in this
lifetime.
