So much better The Samsung and Pico tts voices sound horrible. Amy sounds so real. I don't think the welsh is so good though. Australian is brilliant!

Good Sounds great much better then the standard robot voice, one major drawback though, a file size of nearly 250mb is way too big, pls make it smaller.

Good when it works There have been some force closes (had to re-install) and switches to an American accent, but otherwise good (HTC Desire, CM7).
