Default Non robotic voice ?

Are there any freeware programs for text to speech that do NOT sound robotic?

Thanks.

You're probably looking at something commercial.

Voices are robotic.

What part of Houston do you live ?

"I need your clothes, your boots, and your motorcycle."


A quick Google shows there is even music for the topic :-)

Austrian Death Machine (lyrics)

"I Need Your Clothes Your Boots And Your Motorcycle"

I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle

I just traveled back in time
And I showed up empty handed
Why don't you just cut me a break
With those things that I've demanded

Don't you see how strong I am
You best fulfill my request
Why... would... you try to stare me down
Put... your... cigar out on my chest

I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle

Give me your clothes
Give me your boots
Give me your mo-mo-mo-mo-mo... your motorcycle

Now you'll be the one whos burning
With your hands on the cook top
If this was a different movie
I might have been a cop
Your friends can't save you now
I will just break their hands
I will ask one more time nicely
For you to meet my demands

Can't you see
Don't you see how strong I am
I am tough
You best fulfill my request
Why... would... you try to stare me down
Put... your... cigar out on my chest

I need your clothes, your boots and your motorcycle

Undoubtedly delivered with a slight Austrian accent.

Paul

Sounds like a line from the Terminator movie. :-)

Yes, obviously based thereon. But represents far more words than Arnie
