Text to speech software recommendations?
Hi,
I'm looking for recommendations on good (free/cheap) text to speech software with a couple of different voice options and the abilitly to save as audio files such as .MP3 or .WAV that I can...
Most of the free voices around sound robotic. After many searches all I can say is that if you want something decent you'll have to pay for it (assuming you're looking for voices for commercial use). If it's for personal use, use Ivona voices (www.ivona.com).
The best voices I've found so far are:
Ivona (www.ivona.com)
iSpeech (www.ispeech.org)
Acapela Virtual Speaker (www.acapela-group.com/virtual-speaker-6-speech-solutions.html)
