TTS voices are extremely subjective, some like the most human sounding voice possible and others couldn't care less and want whatever can be understood the best when it talks fast. If I could get Eloquence on the iPhone I'd be a happy camper, I use it on my PC and have little or no use for any of the other voices. For me the TTS is a tool, it doesn't have to sound like a human, it has to be able to read me the information I need accurately and fast and there are few voices better than Eloquence for that purpose.

I have never understood why people like Samantha. To me, she is totally boring. There are so many much better voice over voices to choose from. I periodically change both my voice over voice, and my Siri voice. I currently have the female Irish Siri voice as my voice over voice and the male Siri voice as my Siri voice. I like the British Kate voice very much. Australian Lee and Karen are also very good. I don't like UK Daniel at all. Alex is also good at times. So is Tom. Tessa from South Africa isn't bad either.
