I must say that Loquendos quality was really nice. I liked that they had more a tone of voice than ReadSpeaker does, they are more static. Really interesting to listen to.</p> Thanks Martin for your reply. I must say that Loquendos quality was really nice.

The text-to-speech service are indeed getting better and better. I came across an italian company, Loquendo, a few years back, who are focusing on sound and voice processing for professional services. Their solution sounds rather good too, and provides the option to direct the speech by introducing markers in the material to get the intonation right. Have a look (or listen) at their demos: http://www.loquendo.com/en/demos/demo_tts.htm Also try out the interactive demo, where you can enter your own phrases to be converted. Some 15 languages (incl. regional accents) are supported. And Anders, they actually can develop your voice into a speech pack, but it will cost you dearly... The average Joe would have to work for a few years to get the money to afford it! :-) But, I agree it would be cool!</p> It is a rather interesting service.

Have listened to a bunch of feeds and I must agree with you 'bout the quality of the voice. Who knows, in a near future it might even be possible to listen to your voice!? :-)</p> Indeed a nice service.
