Real speech. , sorry about my last Post being mangled, we think it is due to an update and Outlook express, not damage caused by the Trojan, although it does date from a few days after that event. Re Daniel Mark Best did say something about capitals not being right pitch, I am using Daniel or emily at times in my Ocr. K.11 but the moment Daniel starts to take over machine by not shutting up I switch Voices. the pitch effect doesnot show up in Kurzweil, and the speech being clearer makes it a bit less flexible but the programe is so simple to speed up or slow down. By the way I wonder what "glass matering" is Dorothy----- Original Message ----- From: "Tristram Llewellyn" <tristram.llewellyn@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

They are after all recordings of real speech albeit chopped up and turned into a phoneme database to be squirted out again as a TTS. In essence it is a trade off between perceived quality as against outright flexibility. Regards.
