Hmmm these look good but at 25 bucks a voice hmph.


The only other thing you can do is get the packs for visionaid but you have to buy their stuff then the packs in question and they have ivona and vocaliser.

Ivona don't sell to users either aparently.


That sucks since the only people that do are vcodefactory and the main distributor for these seems to be atguys right now.

Its not been updated in ages so who knows.

Microsoft has some voices which are good and nash central has a hack for the cortana voice but really thats really it.

Hi. I'm a relatively new list member, but I'd like to respond. I use primarily the Microsoft Richard Canadian voice, even though I live in the USA. Also, you can get some very high-quality voices at cepstral.com  but they're not free.

Hello,


You are probably talking about Kate and Serina, Serina seems better at pronouncing characters , try both when pronouncing A, [alpha].

Both are pleasant voices though.

Best Regards, Jim.

For those who want to check out what the OneCore Voices are for the language packs you have installed, go to Settings, Time & Language, Speech.

In the speech Pane a dropdown for Voices presents the voices available based on the language packs you have installed (all of them) and there is a Preview voice button that allows you to listen to whichever one you've selected.
