Now that was fantastic. With my severe hearing loss synth voices are pretty 
much a no-go area but that I could understand. If they brought out a UK English 
voice I'd want one. Is it available to install on non-apple applications such 
as TaxtAloud for example?

  Thought this might be of interest to some of you.
  It is the Apple voiceover which now comes built into their computers.
  You will find links on this site that will enable you to listen to samples 
of, what I think, is very human sounding synthetic speech. And, like a human, 
it even breathes.
  Try to beat this for quality if you can at Freedom Scientific, Window eyes 
and System Access.
