Hello,
I don't recommend Natural Reader as they charge more for resold voices than the others.
Here is a company that you can buy cheapest premium voices from:
http://www.nextup.com/
(prices are in the range of $40). Note however that these are for PERSONAL use
without any distribution rights.
The licenses that allow distribution must be directly from voice vendors and
start from $199 (Cepstral), $1500 (NeoSpeech)
and $4000 (AT&T).
It is enough to buy a *voice only*, as it works with Say() command and it will
work with any TextToSpeech program even free ones like Balabolka
http://www.cross-plus-a.com/balabolka.htm
There are some free voices listed on the above site as well.
AmiBroker's Say() command works with any Microsoft SAPI4/SAPI5 (Speech API) compliant voice.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
