Hi, Well, the Scansoft, AKA Realspeak, voices are developed by Nuance. The same company that creates Dragon, Omnipage, etc. I'm sure there will be a day when they will have to change there practices or lose out. One reason I have purchased several Cepstral voices is because they are A, human sounding, B, affordable, C, Sapi 5 compatible, and D, cross-platform. This makes them one of the most affordable voices with more bang for the buck. AT&T Voices are also good for gaming for pretty much the same reasons as the Cepstral voices.
Cheers!
