www.neospeech.com has good quality voices at reasonable prices and a user friendly website.
Caution with neospeech. You must have admin access to your computer because they send you a license key which has to be copy/pasted into a specific file. This is not a novice job to add languages. They've made it exceptionally more difficult than it needs to be.
www.cepstral.com also offers voices for sale. They encourage you to download and try them first before buying them. Unfortunately, the one I tried wouldn't work in CrazyTalk7.
AT&T Natural Voices are also available, but the website refers you to Wizard Software. Good luck trying to navigate that site. In my opinion, they are not user friendly to the one-off developer who needs a TTS voice for use in online learning.
I found a couple of others that offer voices but their websites are so user unfriendly I passed on trying to use them.
This is not an easy question to get answered. There are other posts in this site (see related threads) that ask the same question but no one knows (or is willing to say) who to use other than "third party" suppliers. Too bad.
Microsoft Anna is the only voice supplied with Vista. You can install additional voices from third party suppliers. For an example see http://www.ehow.com/how_5941936_change-voice-vista-text-speech.html
Once you have downloaded the additional voices, they can be selected as described in this article.

Hi,
Unfortunately, you can use only SAM audio in Windows XP its default by design. If you need any other voice other than SAM you can try searching in the website, using one of your favorite search engines.

Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.

I know that there are many Text to Speech software out there and I have a few of them, but I need one that goes right into windows so that when you go into control panel then Speech icon you see new voices right next to microsoft sam. I found Cepstral Tools but I was wondering if any there are any other companies that have this(I have not found any). The executable would probably have msi extensions rather than exe.
Thanks
