Naw. They're more like 87 cents.

Holy crap! Check this out! It's awesome! http://www.research.att.com/projects/tts/demo.html(Given me by another poster at a French language forum... now I don't know about the French, but the English is almost spot on... ).

Benjamin--that is SO cool!! Thank you! I am taking a sort of refresher course in French, and, as before, I need pronunciation practice, and even more, in understanding what I'm hearing. I typed in "will you dance with me" and didn't catch a word (in French); but when I typed in "bonjour, alain, comment-allez vous", I got it all.

I can honestly say that is truly ferkin' AWFUL! If you spoke like that in France they would be puzzled, not even recognising it as the beautiful language, and then either scandalised at your hopeless presumption or ROFLTAO!  edit: yeah, the English is fine. It's particularly impressive when feeding a line like the following to 'UK Audrey'! wassup, bro? hey dude, how's it hangin'?

ferkin' AWFUL! Oh, no--it is? Dag nab it--some days I just can't win! The teacher who taught me best--and the only native French-speaker I had--spoke French-Canadian. I did have a brief summer session with some French graduate students, but they didn't talk to us much.
