You know. I somewhat agree with you about the price but here is how I
look at it. My wife spent 1200 on a monitor of course now you don’t have
to spend that much but when she bought the 19 inch flat screen that is
what it cost. So I really don’t mind buying 2 voices for $78 when it in
reality is my monitor

yes I agree, although if they weren't so bloody expensive I would be
willing to give a couple of the IVONA voices a try
the first listed English female voice, the first listed female British
voice and the third female English voices are rather nice sounding, and
that is one thing I have been looking for is a decent sounding female
voice for my computer.

Hi,
Hi,
This is something that is probably very hard to get right. Two of
the things that make me stick with Eloquence are that it emphasizes
words usually at the correct places, and it pauses in the right
spots for punctuation. Even though I like the human voices because
they sound like people, I find it difficult to listen to them for
more than a few minutes because I have to keep translating emphasis
in my head.
