What is good in a voice is also subjective. I personally think DecTalk
Access32 is the lousiest-sounding of the popular speech synthesizers. Many
disagree with me. But the fact that GW Micro is the authorized dealer for
DecTalk Access32 makes it very awkward for FS to simply start including it
with JAWS.
