This definitely seems like synthetic speech. I would bet that it is AT&T
Naturally Speaking or something like it which uses a similar technology to
perform text-to-speech based on sampling from a human subject. I recently
heard voices with similar quality from the samples provided on the Freedom
Scientific web site for their Sarat reading system. Quite amazing - Too bad
this can't be done in a small unit like the Bookport with minimal processing
power. This type of speech reproduction probably requires a fair amount of
horsepower. Some day, we'll be there though!
