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.
Jim
