The AT&T natural voices are a separate software Synthesizer that comply with the SAPI 5 speech standard. The cheapest place I have found for them, is http://www.nextup.com When purchasing from nextup, you must choose the AT&T voices as part of your purchase of one of their other products. Nextup produces TextAloud MP3, WeatherAloud, NewsAloud, StocksAloud The package ships with two American english voices. You can purchase other voices for an additional cost. There are other languages available as well. When purchasing these voices, you can get them in either 8khz or 16khz versions. The 16khz voices are very good, but you need to have a pretty good computer system to take full advantage of them. Nextup also has a series of voices that are referred to as the: Cepstral voices. These voices are very good, but you must purchase each voice individually. There are a variety of languages available. Purchase of these voices is done online. Your local reseller may have a different method for getting them though. Cheers Craig Goodenough fioresq1@xxxxxxxxxxx wrote: >Can anyone tell me something about this natural voices?
