Hi Dave, Yeah, and for my part, I'm generally happy to pay that price... and when I'm not, it's a snap to change the voice.

Real Speak takes a lot more of your computer resources to process -- that's the price you pay for high-quality audio.

Hi Listers, Has anyone else found that, when navigating sites or text using the Realspeak synthesizer, that it's a big more sluggish than, say, Eliquence? Although I much prefer the RealSpeak voices, I'm discovering that it isn't quite as speedy to utilize when navigating. Anyone else experienced this? Warmest, Kim
