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.

??? Hello,

It won't work because AB is not designed to write WAV files.

For that you may use ANY TTS application such as freeware

Hi,
Started to use 'Say()' however I find that my lap top sounds so bad 
that some of words are unrecognizable.  Is there any recommended 
package that works with AB to improve clarity of speech.  Freeware or 
paidware.  TIA.
