You can hear demos of the different languages from:
http://www.nuance.com/realspeak/languages/
Go to the table and they're in there.
An interactive demo is mentioned on that page but it isn't available at

John: I listened to the beginning but since I have to get to work, don't
have time to finish it. They used an English accent. In lieu of
listening
to the whole thing, is there any way I can hear this speech elsewhere?
Thanks. John Fioravanti
