I like Tyler who has an Australian accent. In the sample demo to me he
sounded  more natural than all the others. Check him out. On the other hand
when I tried to change Siri to a male voice I got a truly un authentic
French lilt to the way he pronounced some names. For a hard Jan, he
pronounced it more like Jon with a soft o sound. As Richard says, it's
pretty subjective what appeals to a given listener.

I love the Amy voice from Ivona in Voice Dream. She costs 4.99 extra, but
well worth it if you like British  accents.

James from NeoSpeech is very good for an American male voice at 2.99.

Heather is good, but I prefer Laura for an American female voice from
Acapella at I think 1.99.

 

Voices are terribly subjective. You can hear a sample of the voices before
you buy them in Voice Dream.

But, Voice Dream is the best app on the market for reading all kinds of text
based files.

Also great for audio books that are MP3 files.

HTH,

Richard

Hi,

I am a big fan of Heather. I would use Heather in jaws if I had the option.
I use voice Dream Reader and actually use airplay along with the Apple TV to
stream my bookshare books right over the Samsung sixty inch HD TV using
Heather for my preferred voice.

Hope that helps.

Merv
