No its not.  When I had an Android phone, the speech was saying things
wrong.  The speech on the iPhone gets everything I have thrown at it
correct.

Subject: Re: other synth for voiceover on iphone?

 

This is a major detraction of the IPhone.  I've put in a request several
times to have apple open up the speech API so that synthesizers could be
shared across applications but nothing doing.

 

It's not even just voiceover.  It's all self-voicing applications.  If I buy
acapella voices for prismo, and then I want to use them in navigon, forget
it.   If I buy loquendo voices for my voice communication aid and want to
use them in prismo, sorry, nop.

 

One reason I especially love my android is that I have a choice of ivona,
loquendo, svox, and hopefully soon acapella voices that will work with
talkback and any other application I choose.

 

Vocalizer isn't as bad as svox or pico, but if it's an improvement on
realspeak I'm not sure how.  It's pronunciation is pretty horrible.  It's
useless for street names in gps applications for example.

 

Best,

Hi,
No (BTW, VoiceOver uses Vocalizer, which is an improvement compared to
RealSpeak).
Cheers,

Hi, is it possible to use another synth with voiceover if I don't really
like the realspeak voices on my iphone? If so what can I use?
