The voice is remarkably good, but $50?? Jeez. :cry:
Additional info: For anyone who has been waiting to buy software, www.PocketGear.com is having a summer sale. The site is offering 20% off everything. The sale ends 8/17/06. At checkout, use the code SUMMERTIME to get the discount. At least that would cut the cost to $40. |
thanks for the heads up re discount!
while i agree it's on the pricey side i don't think they are ovrpricing it. my understanding is that just licensing the good voices like NaturalVoices is a hefty proposition. These programs tend to be fairly pricey on desktops if they are bundled with the speech engine.
in any case, they have no competitors as of yet. if someone would combine a speech commander with this that would be nice.
