Have you tried or heard any of the Ivona voices?
JAWS14 and now 15 has drivers for the (Nuance) Vocalizer and (Nuance)
Vocalizer Expressive voices respectively, which also suffer from those
limitations.

Hi,
While the accents are not bad, I find the samples speak in a flat
toneless
way. Like many natural language voices they appear to rise and fall
in a
very unnatural manner.
I certainly wouldn't think they are any better than the Nuance voices
commonly used by Apple etc.

I don't know why this didn't make it to the list or back to me from it
last
night.
Hi,
Anybody interested in hearing, or trying out, new SAPI5 voices, might
like
to visit
www.cereproc.com
- and then listening to the samples and/or downloading demos of the
voices.
(You may need to have a version of Apple's QuickTime Player to pay or
listen
to the voices.) Among the voiuices there is one irish, Caitlin,
probably
from Dublin; and a few Scottish ones. A;lso, an english voice, plus
other
voices in other languages from other nationalities. Something like
those at
www.ivona.com
