Sorry to be a pain but i dont beleive people are reading what i am asking

How do i make the Microsoft Mary Voice sound like the Mary in the hall voice in the Hal reader as i assume they are the same voice?

I have installed all the voices that  i search for on the forum yesterday and i gone to many other TTS site.  The hal reader with Mary in the hall is what i require but to access that from code

Thanks Simon

Lol at the name , Yeah i should i used burf.com (my search engine)

Right i no the free voices you get with the MS tts SAPI 5.1 (mary michelle, mike, sam, etc) BUT

How did the Hal reader add the hall effect to the voice

If you play the normal mary voice in a sapi tts demo it sounds rubbish, but the hal reader version with the hall effect sounds very good?  Sounds like an echo effect thats been added somehow?

But thanks for the replies,  I have not found any extra voices to download except L and H

Hello all

I been playing with tts sdk's etc and i came across the hal reader.  Nice product etc but what i need is a semi good voice to use with sapi5 for a college project?

Is the mary used in this product the microsoft one? and how do i get it to sound as good as the hal reader does?  It just sounds extrememly good.  All the ones in the Microsoft TTS are naff!

Thanks
