text to speech voice that doesn't sound like a rapist?

[excalibur313]

Does anyone know of a program (or voice) in using the text to speech converters that doesn't make me feel like i'm being read to by some creepy stalker? I guess what I want is a voice that just sounds very normal and easy to understand and pleasent to the ears.
Thanks,
Stephen

sound pretty damn natural. You can even get them to talk with a british, german, or spanish accent! Pretty funny.

as far as voices that are already installed, i think "vicky" and "victoria" are the best...
some others are fun to play with ("cellos" and "bad news") but are too difficult to understand...

That is kind of spiffy. When do I get the voice of the computer from Star Trek.
