</div>I've never seen prices for Cepstral, but another commercial product is<br>
AT&T Natural Voices.<br>

I will say that Festival sounds better now than it did a few years<br>
ago. I don't know the exact date, but at some point between when we<br>
chose to go with Natural Voices and now, Festival released a new<br>
algorithm that sounds dramatically better than it used to.<br>
<br>
I also really love the Scottish voices that come with Festival.<br>
They're improper for my usage, but if you have a business catering to<br>
customers where those accents would be appropriate it's a nice<br>
product.<br>
