The AT&T Natural Voices™ speech engine comes bundled with two US English voices, Mike and Crystal, in either 16khz or 8khz versions. You can add the Natural Voices™ engine to your purchase, or if you already have one of our products or other text to speech software you can purchase it as directed below. Additional voices and other languages are also available for separate purchase, but the Natural Voices™ engine is required for them to work. Purchasing Instructions, Audio Samples, and System Requirements for all Natural Voices™ are below.

Minimum system requirements are a 300 Mhz Processor w/ 128mb RAM and 500MB Free Disk Space (16khz versions require 1GB Free Disk Space). While on all systems the Natural Voices™ work great when reading to MP3 and WAV files, on systems with less than 256MB Natural Voices™ can have pauses when reading aloud relating to loading voices into memory.

Recommended system requirements are a 500Mhz Processor w/ 256 mb RAM and 1GB Free Disk Space.

Pros: It can read any form of text on your pc screen as long as it is txt, pdf, doc, rtf, html (and other web page texts), your emails. You can make it read at any speed desirable to you.
Cons: It reads with a robotic sound (as do many other text readers). Sometimes, you don't know if a particular statement is a sentence or question.
I am a kind of person who prefers video or audio to plain text. I don't like reading very long text and I always buy products that are in video (or mp3) format. But some time ago, I bought a package...

Pros: You may get a free download version from www.softwarejudge.com and you may tri it for free at your own pace.
Cons: The voice sampled at 8 KhZ is problably a bit robotic. But all is all is a good product.
The At & T voice reproduction software is a great value, but it is a bit expensive: you can now add the voices to your purchase or other text to speech software. The minimum processor needed is a 300...

Pros: Very natural Voices, A huge improvement over Microsoft's stock TTS collection.
Cons: A bit on the expensive side.
I only recently had a chance to demo AT&T Natural Voices on a friend's PC, and I must say, I was unexpectedly impressed by it. I expected this program to be a superfluous add-on to Windows'...

Voicing My Opinion

Ease of Use: 
Sound Quality: 
Effectiveness: 
Help/Support: 
Pros: It reads for you when you don't feel like reading, or your eyes are tired from looking at the monitor for long hours. It does read any form of text, including web pages, email, any text that is in a text box (window) and many file types, such as PDF, RTF, Word, etc... you can adjust the speed that it reads.
Cons: Still sounds somewhat robotic because there is no voice inflection. It can be hard to understand when it pronounces certain words completely wrong, throwing off an important part of what it is reading. it's a little high priced but not unreasonable.
I first came across AT&T Natural Voices when I was trying to find some reasonable software that reads text out loud. I had a 250 page ebook that I had to read for a review I was doing and I could not...

AT&T – Natural Voices – is a software that enables a text-to-speech function in Microsoft word. Although it is no match for Linguatec's Voice Reader Studio which costs a lot more, it is a perfect...

Ease of Use:

Help/Support: 
Pros: Good for basic text to voices.
Cons: This program is a step up from Microsoft's default robotic text to voice reader but AT&T's Natural Voices is less of a match to Linguatec's Voice Reader Studio.
I bought this program in early September 2006 because I'd come down with a vision problem that made me temporarily partially blind in one eye. I love to read (mostly fan fiction on the internet, but...
