Microsoft Sam, Mary and Mike Speech Samples.

Personally I was quite happy with the voices especially Microsoft Mary's, although that may be a english male viewpoint. I accept that at times all voices were distinctly not human when you heard a long session.

The clips read from the list of problems noted on page one are repeated below, so they are pretty much a worst case example of the software. All the voices have the same problems by the way :-

Speech conversion was usually quite realistic, as was the way it handled punctuation.

After quite a few hours of use the few problems I noted were all relatively minor (to me at least): -

Microsoft Sam, clip = 11 sec, 78 Kb.

  1. Some (relatively few) words are clipped, the word useful comes out as just ful. Two, to and too can also suffer from this.
  2. Sometimes words are given emphasis for no apparent reason.

    Microsoft Mary, clip = 10 sec, 72 Kb.

  3. Numbers used as bullet point marks on web pages were not spoken, try it on this section to see this.
  4. The final point is not necessarily a problem. The salesmen would no doubt call it a feature. The Voice Reader extends some abbreviations so, co becomes company & sep becomes september for example.

    Microsoft Mike, clip = 18 sec, 124 Kb.

June 2005 Update: A non Microsoft voice, CMU Kal (see Download: ByteCool) used with the Natural Voice Reader software didn't extend the abbreviations. Which probably means that its the Microsoft voice extending abbreviations, rather than the Natural Voice software.

Note that the background noise on the clips is a product of the conversion to mp3. The chargeable version produces larger but better quality clips than the ones one this page.

Windows XP Narrator using Microsoft Sam.

If you have Windows XP, Microsoft Sam is already loaded on your machine. A rather basic (and in my opinion not to useful) utility to use it is called the Narrator, it can be accessed through the Utility Manager.

For more information on the narrator see the accessibility page
