"With Jennifer's latest version we are approaching the moment when it becomes practically impossible to tell a voice generated by our system from a natural voice. When developing the new Jennifer we drew on the experiences acquired during the prestigious international Blizzard Challenge where in 2006 and 2007 our text to speech system received the highest scores.

The users of the test version say that this is the best voice they have ever heard" - said Łukasz Osowski, the President of Ivo Software.

The new version of Jennifer debuted as part of Expressivo 1.3
