Hi Leo,
I assure you that such things matter to many, even if native speakers.
May I ask where to locate neural voices?
Would I be correct in guessing that, these voices cannot be incorporated
into voiceover as an option?
Its profoundly frustrating, the lack of understanding that some folks
desire one or two clear quality voices for their computing needs, instead
of this odd idea of one voice per task for per program.
After all in theory adaptive tools serves as extension of or
substitutions for, or combinations of physical activity in many cases.
I do not use one pair of hands to do the dishes, and another pair for
typing.
Fully respecting individual choices, speaking personally, why should I
apply one voice for banking and another for reading e-mail?

I find neural voices far more natural when reading large articles. For me
everything is better, intonation, in-flexion, naturalness, and pronunciation.
Objectively speaking, these characteristics are very important for me since
I'm not a native English speaker, but I understand that they might not make
much of a difference for a native English speaker. Well, what can I say? for
the most part, this is a subjective matter
Best,

Why don't you just use VoiceOver to read articles on the Internet when
using Edge on a Mac??

well, yes, I tried it out some weeks ago and it worked just fine; however,
I was expecting that the neural voices worked on the mac as well, but
sadly, they don't... and for me this feature it's very important since I
usually read articles on internet. I don't know if those voices are
working on the latest release, but if someone gives it a try, let us know.
Best,
Leo
