>ah, I forgot. as I use synthesizers also to have fun, not just to read, I want to warn you that Loquendo has some expressive tags, for example \_kiss produces a kiss effect, \_laugh a laugh effect, etc. But, in the end, this is nothing new, these are just audio samples put together with synthesizer's phonemes (on those, you cannot change the effects such as pitch, rate and volume) and it has also some pre-recorded expressions, such as hello, that's impossible, how are you, etc Loquendo, right now, targets especially business-related public, so, for commercial purpose, they just included some expressions but you cannot alter, or add some new. It was of course possible with DecTalk, which could also sing (I enjoy doing that) and also the very very first Loquendo, the 4.0 version, and it was even easier to make it sing, than the very difficult phoneme-millisecond-frequency in herz parameters, of dec talk. Loquendo4, just worked with a single parameter. backslash, m, the herz frequency and then the syllable to make it pronounce, a single consonant or vowel was 100 milliseconds, 2 consonants or vowels 200, and so on. Of course, easier, but less professional than DecTalk. but it was, is, in italian only, and the dec talk is in english only (or some how I heard it french). I don't know if Loquendo is sold out of italy, for blindness-related purposes you should try and contact them via www.loquendo.com
