@doubleshuffle,

I own quite a lot of purchased English voices for Windows (by Ivona, Acapela, Nuance, AT&T). I also own a decent TTS program which can read epub and record to mp3. If you want to create a small test English epub, I could record it to mp3 for each voice and give you a link to the results.

The offer is there if you want it. If you do want to go ahead I suggest the epub text should be constructed to use the words in context of proper sentences, rather than just a list of words.

ETA: Thinking about it more, a simple .txt file would work just as well as an epub
