Because of the number of existing recordings, wouldn't Allison be the
best and most cost-effective solution? |

We decided to record our own. We set up a recording studio, and that has
worked out very well for us.
Let me know if we can help.

Till now we had simple IVR so we recorded it ourself.
Now I have a requirement where customer needs a customized message to be played to customer. I am basically looking for some Text to Speech software that would be cost effective (most probably a open source) and would convert Text to Speech.
I tried Fetival, but the quality of the sound is not good. Can we improve the sound quality of Festival somehow.

Cepstral with Allison is only $30.
I did a demo IVR for a potential client and it was hard to tell the TTS
bits from the human bits. If I took the time to learn Cepstral's markup
language I probably could have fooled myself 
Thanks in advance,

Cepstrel is good, cheap, and now has an Allison (yes, THAT Allison) voice!

What language do you want?
There are UK English versions of the 1.2 release available from
www.tel.net, I should have the 1.4 version up very soon. They were
recorded by Jay Benham (links from the site).
In terms of text-to-speech there are several solutions, have a look at
www.talklets.com who run a text-to-speech (well accessibility, but TTS
as part of it) software as a service solution.
