I’m not a fan of any of the computerized voices. Are there any improvements coming in the near future?
The whole computerized speech industry is “hot” right now, and there are many companies worldwide trying to advance the voices used in text-to-speech applications – such as those used with NOAA Weather Radio. Speechworks has also developed a Spanish voice for NOAA Weather Radio, which has been used by some offices beginning in 2003 (but not here) where there is a significant Spanish-speaking population.
