-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: RIPEMD160 Another cool option is the Cepstral line of software synths. They ain't free but each voice can be bought for $29.95 for Mac, Linux, or Windows. I might experiment with getting one of them to work with Speech Dispatcher. I would mainly use them for maybe things like DAISY book publication and such. They are very high quality human sounding voices. They probably chew up a good quantity of CPU though. Those high end voices tend to do that.
