Does anyone know where to get that hot Asian chick voice?

I forgot who offered it but I want it.:)  Wasn't a free voice but I can't find 
it in google again.  Anyone who knows where to find this let me know.

  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
