I turn this option off, I think it's better to hear a real voice, or just to read by myself the words ; there are some sentences that are well pronounced, but with some other it's a bit crappy. Windows should make better voices

Vocaloids doing english is hilarious

In light of this thread and poll, the next release of wxLauncher will have TTS turned off by default, so those of you who said you use it will need to turn it on.

Thanks to everyone who participated.

Sounds good.

I love Neospeech's ethnic TTS voices, especially for the Techroom. It sounds natural enough and doesn't break immersion at all. Ethnic voices makes me think that I (the pilot) chose which Alleigance persona would communicate best for me in Terran Standard.

Say that I'm playing an anime mod on FreeSpace, and my TTS is obviously a Japanese lady speaking English. That creates immersion for me, if anything.

Neospeech TTS also has a built-in phonetic dictionary available, so if a voice pronounces a word wrong, you can fix it.

As far as whether to have it on or off by default, I suppose off makes a whole lot of sense. It's not that hard to switch it back on.

I use it only during missions when I'd rather not trawl back through messages to figure out what's going on. In the Tech room, briefings and etc. I don't actually see the point in it.

When I was still playing FS2_Open on my IBM, I did at first, but it became very jarring hearing MS Sam in a female body, so I turned it off. I've never turned it on ever since.

I stopped using TTS when I was testing campaign ideas. Since the GTF Ulysses is the default ship to appear in the techroom, every time I'd go into the techroom to test a mission, my speakers would blare out

AFFECTIONATELY NICKNAMED 'THE BAT' BY ITS PILOTS

right before I managed to click on the Mission Simulator.

So yeah, I don't use that anymore.

Windows 7 has TTS, right? Does it work better?

What I believe might make me turn TTS on ever again is if different voices were assigned to different personae (such as a female voice to female personae), but that would be a massive waste of time.
