Can Robert or anyone who owns a Hanlin V5 describe the characteristics of the voice used for TTS? Specifically, is the quality of voice human, even if uninflected (like the Kindle), or is it completely synthetic like DR Sbaitso or the voice from the movie 'War Games?' The TTS on my android smartphone is the latter and, as much as I want to like it, I just can't.
Any further info (even a recording) would be much appreciated.
