Subject: UK English Screen Reader
Some students who I have assessed do not like/cannot understand the
speech
generated by TextHelp, Aladdin Ambassador, DNSP, Zoomtext etc. This is
because primarily the speech is an unfamiliar American drawl, the words
appear to merge together and the general clarity is poor.
Is there a screen reader / text to speech engine which offers UK English
and
where the clarity is of acceptable quality ?
Regards
