There's quite a difference between the "normal" voices in OSX, and the high-quality ones. If you have a few spare gigabytes, try out the French, Spanish, and Swedish versions.
For my kids, it's at least a few minutes entertainment to make the computer speak high-quality foreign curse words.

- petercooper 14y agoI'd never noticed this before - cool! Samantha and Tom in the US English section sound particularly good. The only major problem I seem to perceive is that the transitions between certain words and phones aren't smooth enough and are jarring. It doesn't sound like they're far off but I guess 90% of the work is in the last 10% ;-)
