Oh yeah and I too think voice is a great idea. I have been working on voice ideas for a while now too. Right now I am testing all the different text to speech software packages I can get my talons onto. I plan to experiment using a combination of text to speech software and lip-synch(chronization) software for use in DC.

Crazy Talk works great if you dont mind the tedium of editing every second of a sample to get it just right. It isn't hard to figure out how to do it, it is just a little too much like work for my tastes. lol. Then again, I guess so is editing graphics but I enjoy that. And maybe so is creating maps and editing them but I also enjoy that.

Most of the small text to speech programs available online are total crap unless you were looking for that vintage 80's WOPPER computer voice from War Games style. I beleive AT&T is at the bleeding edge of text to speech technology.
