A lot of the Ivona voices aren't great; Sally is good, and the Birtish male is good. Kendra is horrible, though, and Joey annoys me after a while. That said, overall the good Ivona voices still have the others beat, I think. Again, synthesized speech is one of the most subjective things we could discuss, so I guess it comes down to this: whichever you prefer, VDR now offers four voice manufacturers to pick from. The other Daisy app on iOS offers only one, and other self-voicing apps similarly lack choices. No matter how you slice it, you are more likely by far to find a voice you like in VDR than any other app. On Mar 15, 2014, at 6:02 PM, Gmail <englishride...@gmail.com> wrote:
