the demo voice is not the best and the recording of it was not the best either. Your mialage will vary with speakers and other factors including headphone quality. Lots of people like eloq/viavoice and dec, I find them distasteul. I do like some of the newer voices but they are cpu intensive. -- Johnnie Apple Seed ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Dawes" <sdawes@xxxxxxxxx> To: "Speakup is a screen review system for Linux." <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Sunday, May 01, 2005 6:20 PM Subject: RE: Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review Well, I would have to say that having listen to the demo, that the voice chosen for the demo is not the best software synth out there. In fact, if the demo is using the best that VoiceOver has to offer, then it has a long way to go to catch up to the software synths that are out there in other operating systems.
