Extra Voices
« on: May 19, 2008, 05:50:16 am »
Hey long time no post lol! I've just upgraded my system and reinstalled Ultra Hal.  Using Vista Ultimate 64 and Hal is running fine but I've hardly got any voices at all!  I used to have robotic voices and other really cool ones and not just the basic poor quality ones.  I've also installed the character expansion pack as well but still no extra voices.  What have I done wrong this time lol!

Hi Runtus,
You only get MS Anna voice with VIsta. You can download the old voices from

Thanks, like I said its been a while since I've actually used Hal.  But I think its time I got back into it.

Tried downloading some of them but they were not like the ones I used to have.  I had some robotic voices and some which were alot better than these.  Any idea where I could get them?

The L&H with 10 voices should have your robotic voice. The other free ones aren't bad either.

In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!
