[Athen] Free/cheaper alternatives to VM Paul/Kate/Julie voices for Kurzweil 3000?

[Corazon Napolis]

Please forgive cross post.

We've recently updated to v14 of Kurzweil 3000 and no longer have VM
Paul/Kate/Julie voices. We received a quote for $1200 for one year use of
VW Paul from Voice Ware... can anyone suggest any comperable and more cost
efficient speech synthesizers? They'd primarily be used for students that
prefer mp3 files of their textbooks.

Thank you!
