I'm a fan of Sally over Amy, but I agree that the $3 I spent on James now feels wasted. <smile> Speech is incredibly subjective, but I think Ivona sounds far better than anything put out by A Capella or the other companies VDR uses. The only one that can match it is Nuance, with their newest Expressive voices (like Ava or Oliver). On Mar 15, 2014, at 3:28 PM, Haya Simkin & guide dog Pammy <[email protected]> wrote:
