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.

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'...

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.

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...
