You can read more about them on the www.voice-corp.com website. So, all the "old ones" are still very much available, but since they are much more expensive, we can not offer the services at these low prices as we have for the webReader service. Regarding the AudioFeed Creator, we will probably need to change to the "new" voices on that service as well since it is a service offered free of charge. I hope you understand. Best regards Niclas Hi Derrick,

For some reason the newer TTS engines don't seem to be as good as the old ones. For example, I have yet to see any TTS tool on the web that could come close to the male voice behind Audio Feed Creator. Vocal Fruits and now webReader are not as smooth and natural sounding as Audio Feed Creator. Why is this? I’ve been tracking ReadSpeaker many years, across several spin-off apps.

I will forward that to support@voice-corp.com. We have just added some more languages and it's possible that we have not managed to get all of them up to speed :-) Thanks for your input.
