Eric,

Your reasoning on why female voices are preferable for high noise environments makes sense. It’s also backed up by Joseph’s experience.

Thanks.

The reason for the preference for female voices in high noise environments (e.g. cars) is due to the fact that higher frequency sounds tend to be less distorted and overwhelmed by environmental interference – e.g. road and engine noise.

Male voices, being lower pitched, have to compete more with engines and tires and other noises.

In quiet environments, lower pitched sounds are less stressful to the human ear to listen to, so alto female and male voices are preferred then.

Count me in your stat. I purchased NaturalReader (sorry) and also purchased the female voice, also in my CAR GPS I used the female voice.

In the car I find the default TX2 Speech female easier to understand.

Yet at home I use it for proof reading and I use the default MALE (not the female I purchased) but I slow it down to -1, and I find that REALLY helps
