...on the subject of which, does anyone have, or know where I can get
the singing Jaws files? I know it's been round the block a few times on
this list, but it'd be helpful to me in connection with the piece and
its follow-up.

i'll really look forward to that! For my money, the best I've heard is
the Loquendo voices on
http://www.loquendo.com/en/demos/interactive_tts_demo.htm
- I especially like Kate with the little touches of emotion you can
program in.
And about the worst in recent times must be Audomadic
Da-a-a-a-a-a-a-ave, which arrived with the demo of Hal if I remember
rightly.
Dectak singing is probably corny for experienced blindies, but I've only
just come across it - reminds me of Tonto's Epanding Head band from
about 1970, where they got a moog synth to sing.

Apologies for the cross-posting, but this is something which I
hope and imagine would be of interest to people on either list. On
Tuesday's In Touch I'm doing a piece about the place of sampled and
synthesised voices in the lives of Blind and PS people. The aim of the
piece, as well as having a bit of a laugh at some of the dafter ones is
to get listeners to contribute examples of voices you particularly like
or dislike or find annoying or amusing. Be warned that we'll be after
not just nominations, but, where possible, actual examples. More info
on Radio 4 on Tuesday 23 May at 2040 and thereafter on the In Touch
pages of the BBC Website. Hope you'll all be there and tell your
friends!
Cheers now.
Ian
