Text-to-speech (TTS): Where can I get better Voices?

Voices provided by the Windows OS have improved over the years since Windows XP and are good voices to use for TTS.
We recommend Microsoft Zira for use with TopView.
Other voices can be purchased from 3rd parties and provide quality speech at reasonable prices, as well as support for non-English languages.

You can also download and test SAPI5 voices from http://www.cepstral.com/ before your purchase them ($29 each) Hear demo: https://www.cepstral.com/demo/
Download voice for trial: https://www.cepstral.com/downloads/
