to this question from me. I have used their voices on Android previously, and
over there they were honestly quite impressive. If I recall the responsiveness
was on the level of the smaller formant engines like Eloquence, so if the
Windows voices are anything like that it’d be a good option now that innoetics
has gone poof. That being said, because they want 40 euros for one voice,
versus the 1 or 2 euros you had to pay on Android, I haven’t yet decided to
take the plunge and try them out.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

site makes me somewhat nervous about purchasing their voices. This is due to no
