So what good are these voices if your only allowed to use them for personal use? I guess if you want it to read text off you computer your in good shape but if you want to use it in your projects then your in violation without purchasing an additional commercial license. :angry:

And the kicker is you have to send an email to get the price of a commercial license:hehe:
That alone should scare away anyone toying with the idea of using these voices... must be very expensive if they won't reveal commercial prices in the ad

I bought the English pak.  Send the email if you are worried.

      The only positive use I can see for this software is if you write your own scripts like I do. You can assigning voices to the characters to see how your script flows with somewhat real sounding voices before you actually hire real voice over actors. That it. In a professional production enviroment, I don't see any use for it which makes paying a license fee not worth it to me.  Nothing can replace true actors doing real voice over work on your projects who can express a more varied range real emotions in their delivery than any canned software can do.

     Me personally, anytime I don't see the llcense price for a software on a website and you have to send an e-mail to get it, you can just about bet they make up the price as they go along on a customer by customer basis. Every caller will pay a different price.  Avoid it. What you pay in a license fee, you can hire actors for your professional productions or your friends for free for your amatuer animations to do real voice over work, and be a lot happier with the end results.

I purchased the NeoSpeech english voices without reading the fine print. I was heart sick after I realized you aren't even supposed to put any of the voices on the internet. I requested my first refund from Reallusion. They were very prompt in putting the money back on my card. I'll have to be more careful. I am hoping that Reallusion resists the temptation to enter into any more agreements with third parties that have such limited licenses. Otherwise it is very confusing to have elements that can be used commercially and others that can't.

These text-to-speech SW are kind of crazy. I understand that companies want to make money but... c'mon!! It is like if I had bought a music editors and I had to pay a fee for each note that I compose!! The day a text-to-speech SW will leverage this nonsense legal stuffs, I believe all the other these companies will start lose money if they do not adapt with the market...

My PC:
OS: Windows 10 Pro English 64-bit / CPU: Intel i7-9700 3.6GHz / MB: ASUS ROG Strix Z390  RAM: 32GB DDR4 2.6GHz / HD: 2TB+3TB  /  SSD: 2x512GB Samsung 860 EVO + 1x2TB Samsung
VB: Palit GTX2080 TI GamingPro 11GB / AB: embedded in the MB and VB (audio from the MOTU M4 I/F) / DirectX: 12

This is disappointing news. 

I didn't realize you couldn't use the voices on the internet.  Since, I plan to use voices with youtube and vimeo I guess they won't be any use to me.  I thought you couldn't use them in commercials or for business purposes.

Guess I'll be contacting support to credit back my purchase as well.

Maybe, someone will find some good voices that we can use and tell us about them.

I tried those voice morph software and they did not work.  They could turn my voice into some crazy nonsense voices, but nothing like change my male voice to female.

Audacity is probably as good as any program for voice changes and it's free.  I can't believe the voice software is so behind in development. 

Anyway, thanks for the heads up. I only have one video up on youtube using the kate voice so I'll delete it.

    

I use Speakonia and the Microsoft voices all the time in my Youtube videos

and all except Brittish English open in iClone text to speech 32bit too.
cannot find any laws against it, similar to using Microsoft Anna, would have the same usage as they were put out for earlier versions of Windows and same as using Microsoft fonts and other media,
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_text-to-speech_voicesthere would be some limits regarding distribution etc, the pictures that come with Windows DO have Getty licensing restrictions for example so you cannot use those as backgrounds.
most my videos actually use Myriad Melody assistant virtual singer and the licensing clearly states I can use it for recording and broadcasting of musical work subject to the usage rights of the musical work in question.
I just do my own random notes and make little operas!
sounds kitschy and silly but I go for that!

Thank you all for the information posted here. It has saved me from wasting money on this Pack in the RL "Summer Sale".
