Re: text to speech question
I don't think you can, and I wouldn't want to spend money just to have a different Microsoft voice that I never use.

You can use them. I have in the past and I keep being tempted to install them again now.

The problem I had with them was that they were a serious performance drain. But my PC is faster now so I'm tempted again.

I love microsoft sam. :yes: He's my friend. He's such a classic too.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

Re: text to speech question
I find no voices to be far preferable to Microsoft Sam. That particular voice is so unbelievably bad that it just ruins all the immersion. :p There are much better speech engines out there though.

Well, I haven't actually used any myself. That AT&T package has been mentioned here before though and is supposed to be a lot better.

I think vista's female voice isn't that bad on the ears.
