Well, it has a fairly wide selection. If you want the sexy female, you
can
have one with a French, British, German or Spanish accent, as well as an
American version. If you speak any of those languages, it does a pretty
good job of reading in any of those languages.
When I say it doesn't read the punctuations, that's a bit misleading,
because it incorporates the marks into how it pronounces what it is
reading.
It pauses for commas, longer pauses for periods, raises pitch for
question
marks etc. If appropriate, it will lower pitch when something is in
brackets. It's really rather incredible.
Take care,
Dudley
