Man, those voices are terrible. The guys at Neospeech put them to shame.
Neospeech does a good job of pronouncing the standard text, but when you enter a custom text in that demo field it becomes horrible.
I have a question that I have been trying to figure out for awhile. Can anyone recommend a speech-to-text program? Do they even exist? Is that something that natively exist in system preferences for free? For example Google "transcribes" by voice mails to text but I would love to be able to do the reverse (for more then 30 seconds).
I guess what I am looking for is a computer version of an old fashion Dictaphone and secretary.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Well it isn't free however Nuance makes speech software for the Mac called Dictate. They bought MacSpeech and are currently working on a new version of speech software for the Mac to get it up to the Windows version.

German is my mother tongue and I thought the German voice was really good except for some computery humps and bumps.

Safari seems snappier with these new voices.
They better add Eastern European languages to GUI...
