QotD: Voices
Posted March 23rd, 2005 @ 09:52am by Erik J. Barzeski
Question: Do you think you're going to buy any of the voices from Cepestral?
My Answer: I'm thinking about it. But $30 and I never use text-to-speech? I dunno about that… but maybe we want to add a "speak title" action to PulpFiction or something. Hmmm…

Growl has a speech plugin, so PF already supports that 🙂
I tried a demo-version of Cepestral (a German voice), and while it's nice to have a more-or-less native speaking voice, the thingy crashed the application after half an hour of usage, so I'm not that confident in the quality.
