I took part in this trial. They managed to select some truly dreadful
voices.

Subject: [access-uk] National Library: Audio books in synthetic speech
trial
Wondered if anyone on list took part in the NLB trial of books read in
synthetic, or rather, concatonated speech? If you have, how have you
found it?
Question is prompted by James O'Dell's mentioning just now of the
alternative of a DAISY Harry Potter in Synth speech.
