>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
