Hi Yusuf,

Yes, I am the reseller.

I can't speak for the Turkish voices, but try the UK Lucy and Peter, they
are pretty good.

All the best

Steve

Hi, Sorry to highjack this one for my own uses but took a look at the 
Turkish voices last night and was pritty impressed with one of them Ipek. 
For some reason though that wasn't one of the voices I was able to download 
for demo purposes. Any idea why?

I found that with the 2 Turkish voices I did download there was a major 
problem with the dotless which WE reports as 1 and the acapella voice 
reports as the Turkish for 1 IE bir.

I'm not sure if this is a WE reading problem, an acapella problem or a 
problem with the Turkish character set I am using. I think the latter is 
unlikely though as I'm sure the dotless i appears correctly.

On the English voices, I tried Ryan but noticed a few weard pronounciations.

But will be giving some of the other voices a go.

Am I right in assuming that Steve is the receller?
Yusuf
