In their freshly released,

Information Associates states that 11 commercially available text to speech
products were tested for accuracy performance. Using an English language test

results tabulated.
The test corpus (1,588 words/phrases) was segmented into categories which included: Number Handling; Homograph Handling; Handling of Words of Foreign Origin; Acronym Handling; Abbreviation Handling; Name Handling; and Address Handling and the test results were presented in these categories. The average score for all units tested was 80% correct. Overall scores ranged from 60.7% to 98.6% correct.
Among the 11 TTS products tested, representing the text to speech vendors’ latest available releases, rSpeak Technologies stole the show with an overall accuracy rate of 98.6% and Neospeech (VoiceText) also proved its outstanding performance at 95.6%.
