Fun Toy

Hard at work making some PSAs, I found this amazing text-to-speech engine that lets you demo it online. While it has a pretty hard time with some basic words (save, manatee), what really makes it great is the number of voices. For instance, there's your typical male and female voices--but then there are some accents. Scottish. British. Annoying. Then there's the real gems, near the bottom--and their names are Dog, Duchess, Shouty, and Whispery. Wow.
