I noticed a few days ago that the Emergency Alert System alerts (local ones in west MO at least) now use Microsoft David for their computer (text-to-speech) voice, when previously they used NeoSpeech Paul for a few years. Before that, they had Vocalizer Tom most of the time, and before that I can't remember. Back when they used TOm, DECtalk also made appearances.
Here are the voices if you wanna compare, first to most recent.



Which do you like the best? I can't check the local weather radio station because I don't have a weather radio, but maybe they now use MS David too.


Personally I think they should use ElevenLabs.io, but I'm not the U.S. government. ElevenLabs sounds human.
