    I named my computer a girl's name and use Neospeech Kate. I also have it respond with "Yes master" when I give it a command. The funniest was the first time I showed my girl I was going through my interface and said "Kate, go down". When it responded with "Yes master", my girl responded with "You better change that if you want me to ever go down again!". I made a deal with her and it no longer says that. I'll be subtle and just say my deal with her made me almost crash the car later on It was all worth it

    I've spent a few hours trying to figure out how to get new voices, but I haven't had much luck yet.

    Where is a good place to start?

    I listened to the demo for Acapela Heather, and it is amazing. Strangely enough though, I can't even find a place that offers it for download.
    2002 Grand Am progress :
    [••••••••••••••••………] - 80%
    ...complete setup, but still need to make the install cleaner

    I believe I got mine from nextup.com. There are plenty of places that sell them though and each has a different selection.

    I got my voice from Nextup.com like StrataG did. They have At&t, Neospeech and Cepestral. They also have a bunch of ScanSoft voices that you can buy but they haven't been officially released - you have to look in their voice forum for ScanSoft to find the link to hear and buy them.

    AFAIK to get Acapella Heather you have to pay thousands for a license but I would think sooner or later it should get release cheap for personal use - I Hope!

    I like Neo Speech Kate, too.

    Did you have to have it stop saying "Yes Master" completely or just when you said "Kate, go down"?

    That's a great story - maybe i'll have to try that, although my girl is pretty accomodating anyway!

    I took out the "Yes Master" completely because it was annoying anyway. I just left it that way to mess with my girl that day. My g/f is great that way too, but it's fun manipulating her even when she realizes what I'm up to (no pun intended)
