But if you like to hear how text-to-speech works nowadays then head over to http://mary.dfki.de/online-demos/java-interface (you need java 1.5 web plugin) and select one of these voices: time-awb (English, male, limited) dfki-zeit (German, female, limited) dfki-bundesliga-excited (German, male, limited) dfki-bundesliga (German, male, limited) i never heard such emotional computer generated voices – that’s the right way!
