And you know this how exactly?
I use dectalk, because other forms of synthesized speech trigger health
issues.
My goodness, i dare say you gleam a sense of self by judging the choices
of others as if you were an authority on all aspects of the human

those commenting positively about my dectalk when compared to tts, are
using commercial products, amazon kindle fire for example.
But of course the 8 billion on the planet are second to your personal
experiences.
