June 28, 200718 yr Hello.In a recent review of Radar Contact a person wrote:--The smoothness and clearness of the pilot's and controllers voice surely impressed me, but not more than the AI chatter. --But when I just had my first flight using Radar Contact I was shocked by the quality of the pilot's voice. The ATC controller on the other hand sounds really great, but ok, those are very smooth samples.The transitions between spelled numbers or any other word are so different in speed and pitch due to a lousy text-to-speech engine that I wondered that I might have a different version of it then the person who wrote this review.Any one an idea which engine is used and if there is an update possible?Greetings,Ren

June 29, 200718 yr Rene - me being one of those voices - while I got a "I wish I was a Virtual Machine" (vmware) sticker on my keyboard, I am infact a real living person of flesh and blood. Regarding an upgrade for the "Engine" I think the warrenty has long expired - there is no hope for me anymore :-)Jokes aside - as JD wrote mowing the sliders will give you more fluently speach.http://jdtllc.com/images/rcv4bannerbeta.jpgPelle F.

June 29, 200718 yr Commercial Member i've tried to replace all of these real people with synthetic voices, and it has caused quite a revolt amongst the beta testers. they would rather hear nails on a chalk board, than willie, millie, etc.so for the foreseeable future, recordings of live people will be the way to gojd JD Read my blog
