The Scansoft Real Speak voices that come included with JAWS 8 and 9 and
Openbook 8 are SAPI five and can be used for this purpose with the appropriate
text to audio software. I don't know of any other free decent SAPI5 voices out
there though. The new Microsoft voice for Vista is called Anna but, I don't
know if it can be downloaded anywhere. It's not perfect but, it's a lot better
than Sam. Maybe someone else out here has more ideas?

Hi list members,
I'll start by saying I'm still using Windows XP, SP 2.
Now, the Microsoft sam voice is annoying and I want to know if there are other
tts voices I can use, particularly for creating MP3 files from text.
Well, I should just say that any information about what speech engines I can
use and any associated voices will be appreciated.
Marcus
