I do like that they have the new japanesse voice, where you type in english and it speaks it in japanesse. I wish they had a German one.

So how do you install them then ?

HiJack, any idea how I can purchase the voices? The Sales page on the neospeech site just takes me to a form to fill out about how big or small my business is...

Thats what I was commenting on..... There is no direct way to buy them anymore, which is dumb.....

First you install the voice packs, then you just got to the Speech option in CF and it will automatically see the new voice packs.

Here's a link with some voices:

https://www.cepstral.com/

Check out the "Allison" voice, it's near human...

Very nice, and nicely priced at 30 bucks a voice.

Downloaded and installed one, shows up in list of voices in CF but when CF instructs speech engine to speak when the voice is selected, it doesn't work. Too bad, some of the voices rae pretty nice. If anyone else knows of any places to purchase voice packs, please drop a post...

You can find voice packs and/or TTS Engine from the following companies:

Acapela Group (Infovox product),
Cepstral (already mentioned),
Loquendo (2007 Market Winner Award, I don't know if they have voice-packs, it is the one used by TomTom),
Nuance (their RealSpeak product is used by several voice-pack vendors),
VoiceWare.

For my language (italian) the best are Loquendo and Realspeak (similar to NeoSpeech quality), much better than Cepstral...

Well there is another way to get voices...... (im not sure this is allowed), but you guys can download them off my FTP. I really dont mind sharing my stuff.

Oh you know what, I've got the Acapela voices that came with my Streetdeck DVD. I wonder if I can use those.

Im not sure how Street Cr@p works, but if its a seperate install pack that installs into Microsoft Text to Speech, you should be able to use use it. Infact I think as long as it installs period, it will work.
