Not only is it easy to listen to but if you want to read some cool stuff
that Microsoft is doing with synthesized speech you should read the white

Nod I was recently trying to find what you're talking about they actually
went to the congress and slapped Microsoft down when it came out with XP and
a very good narrirator. Narrirator was dumbed down and we still stand in
