    I would say it's not bad but that it needs work. I used it to read about one page of a novel; it stumbled over pronouncing 'fight', which came out at GHT, and 'coffee', but I can't remember how. I haven't spent much time with this software; let me just say I can't imagine using it to read an entire book. (A couple of voices in the free version are just execrable.
