FL Studio has a decent speech synth for robot voices which can then be autotuned. I've gotten okay results.

I just asked that question to Ivona's support. Maybe we'll find an answer in the FAQ soon.V0RT3X wrote:If you were to use any of the voices in a song you want to sell, then i imagine you would need a commercial licence.
The makers of the TTS used on leo.org never bothered answering the same question. Maybe they broke their necks falling from their seats laughing while listening to the song in question (made before posing the question [silly, i know]).
And while we're at it:
eSpeak cross platform, uses Microsoft SAPI5 plus some own voices
Balabolka Microsoft SAPI reader
MBROLA cross platform with lots of voices, can be difficult to set up but most flexible

Plogue recently dropped a teaser video of their next product: an emulator for old 80's voice chips. Think it's called Chipspeak or something. Yeah, I doubt it's going to be free, but I'm looking forwards to it.

I'm pretty sure that some of these Reading Tools use the exact same voices.
Here's a quote from the NaturalReader FAQ:
5. I would like to distribute audio files created by NaturalReader software. How do I purchase a license?
Due to licensing restrictions, we cannot allow customers to redistribute the sound files created by NaturalReader. For permission to redistribute the audio files, you must contact the voice providers (AT&T, Neospeech, Acapela) to buy the license.

+1 Bitspeek is awesome.DrGonzo wrote:I don't know which platform you are on or what kind of effect you are after, but the built in text-to-speech-function in OSX is actually really really useful.
Otherwise - record your own voice and slap Bitspeek on it. Very very good.

The one most widely used by visually impaired people is JAWS but it has become ridiculously expensive (profiteering) - luckily there are open source options these days

What a fantastic project! Thanks for the link. Taking financial advantage of some random Joe or Jane that happens to be blind and just wants to use a computer, etc. ... par for the course, I guess. I might throw a donation their way...aMUSEd wrote:The one most widely used by visually impaired people is JAWS but it has become ridiculously expensive (profiteering) - luckily there are open source options these days

JAWS wasn't like that at first, it was developed with good intentions and is highly valued by many partially sighted and blind people, I think gradually the company got greedy - niche markets = possibility of getting lots of money, especially from people with insurance - now they charge over £800 for it so screw them with open source software.kbaccki wrote:What a fantastic project!
