"Good text to speech, poor overall software and support"

January 11, 2017 | By petemarr

2017-01-11 09:55:21 | By petemarr

| Version: Verbose Text to Speech 2.01

Pros

At its best, the voice quality was the most superior I had come across at that time. Which is why I bought it.

Cons

Inconsistent sound volume in different parts of the program. Some of the voices supplied were like cartoon character's voices.
I mailed NCH for support (re the sound volume) the day after I bought it, (12 Dec 2016) and still haven't had a reply (other than the automatic acknowledgment). Other users have asked the same questions re volume.

Summary

I am going to delete it from my PC and will hesitate before buying from NCH again.

"No uninstaller + undeletable upgrade nags = adware"

April 14, 2014 | By jabuser

2014-04-14 17:49:43 | By jabuser

| Version: Verbose Text to Speech 2.01

Pros

It does convert text to speech. Sound quality of the generated files is typical of the genre: adequate to understand what is being read, but very noisy.

Cons

I was getting ready to uninstall this program because I have other (totally free) utilities that do the same thing, and that would have been that. However, there is no uninstaller, and the application has a service running in the background that prevents manual deletion. So, it became the usual detective drama to kill the processes, delete the files, find & remove the registry entries and cross my fingers that there aren't other residual artifacts still gumming up my system. THAT's the Con that earned this product an unfavorable review.
