Hi Ian, Well, they could always take Samantha off, and put Daniel and Emily on for the British market, and use different voices for different markets. All the best Steve _____ From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ian Macrae Sent: 10 August 2007 10:09 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] VOICES ON THE STREAM News for those people who have or may express dissatisfaction with the TTS voice known as Samantha on the new Victor Reader Stream. According to information provided by Humanware in Canada, they are planning to introduce new voices within the next six months. However, there are a number of factors for them to juggle. For one thing the player's onboard memory will only allow for two voices. For another while they are keen to offer an alternative English voice, there are also demands from elsewhere for voices using other languages. http://www.bbc.co.uk This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
