Agreed, that is still 3 years + off on consumer level voices, although some of the high end stuff I heard for telephone switchboard automation is really good, there is a scottish female voice doing the rounds that is very real sounding with the correct nuances but the price tag is more than paying a voice over artist a decent wage for their work. Anyhow I seem to write and munip and render images more these days than record audio...
