I have heard this particular unit and I found the quality excellent,
especially compared to the cost of the text to speech system I have
here. It cost me 500 UKP as compared to the SB being 180 UKP.
I like then singing demo. Very impressive, although I doubt it would
serve much purpose, but it did show the amazing versatility of the
unit.
I am going to purchase one as soon as I upgrade my computer for use
in my home control system.
