The 6 best Text to Speech engines, September 2009

Please note the upload date.
I have been trying to find the best Text to Speech engines. This is what i found. I would have put Loquendo engine on list too but was not able to get any useful sound files from the interactive demo.
I have made characters from some MMO's dance or speak to make this video more fun to watch. I like to know if you find better voices.

What is the voice engine in the beggining with that guy on the TV?

@Rolvak The voice engine at the beginning is called Peter, it was created by the Acapela group

I love this video, thank you! . . . suggestion for another vid: might be good if they all said one same thing for comparison - like, first have them all say one difficult sentence . . . next, have them all spell a few long words . . . I'm using AT&T Natural Voice Mike.
