Title: Good Computer Voices?
Post by: Leviathis on December 09, 2007, 04:38:10 pm

Im sure this has been asked before... but i couldnt find much on the subject very easily...

What are the best options for computer generated voice out there... besides the obvious (and horrible) microsoft Sam/Mike?  Is there anywhere i can get the AT&T voices for free?  any others that are decent?

Well ive heard that the AT&T voices are really good... or something else similar to that??

I  just hate having to try to read all the important info while in game.... pausing during a fight so i dont miss it... its annoying.  And the Microsoft voices just suck....

Piracy! :D

The AT&T voices are good. They're also huge. Crystal took up over half a gig of HD space and the male voice would have taken up about the same amount. They also slowed the game down by a significant amount.

I would settle for having plain ol' Microsoft Sam work consistently.  For some reason, he doesn't want to read about half of the in-mission text.  This is most unfortunate, as having to read messages during the mission - or, more likely, hit F4 to read them from the message log - kinda ruins the experience.  I don't expect every campaign/mod to be voice acted, and many never will be, but they would be a lot more fun if the text-to-speech at least worked all the time.  MS Sam is at least understandable - mostly.

Aww so no AT&t for free?? lol

And you think it would slow it down alot on a really good system?  Im running a Intel 2.4 GHz Dual Core Quad, 2 GB ram, and a Nvidia 8600 GT @ 256 mb
