Planning a VoiceOver Main Menu Review

[david poehlman]

the demo voice is not the best and the recording of it was not the best 
either.  Your mialage will vary with speakers and other factors including 
headphone quality.  Lots of people like eloq/viavoice and dec, I find them 
distasteul.  I do like some of the newer voices but they are cpu intensive.

Well, I would have to say that having listen to the demo, that the voice
chosen for the demo is not the best software synth out there. In fact, if
the demo is using the best that VoiceOver has to offer, then it has a long
way to go to catch up to the software synths that are out there in other
operating systems.

the speech is way better than any synth out there. i've used macs since 92
and although the first couple of vertions of the old screen reader of mac
had a robotic voice. the plaintalk voices (witch are the voice for voice
over) are the best quality voices out there. and get this, i've ben talking
litterally to my mac since 96 asking it the time, asking it to do this or
that and with supurb voice quality feedback on top of that. /off topic post
