Actually it sounded pretty good to me. I'm guessing how good it sounds depends in part upon the computer hardware you are playing it on. Probably on my older laptop it would sound choppy and slower than on my newer one. In a proper app reading an ebook it should sound better. Using Google Play books on a newer tablet Ivona sounds good, even a bit fast to my ears. Using Moon+ Reader it sounds quite good, same on an Amazon tablet. You need more than a paragraph or two to make up your mind about it. I get used to it as I listen to the book and forget it is TTS after awhile.
