Do that and voila, you've just brought your phone's text-to-speech up to 11. This can be accomplished by venturing into your settings menu, poking around in Voice input and output, hitting Text-to-speech settings, and selecting SVOX Classic TTS from the Default Engine menu. Lastly, once you've got SVOX (and a voice pack) installed, you'll want to set it as the default TTS engine. So if you've got a difficult-to-pronounce name (like my last name, apparently), you can try and find the best way to phonetically spell out the name or word you're thinking of, and SVOX will default to that pronounciation over it's standard way. The last tidbit is probably one of the coolest features in SVOX, and if you spell something out phonetically in one voice, it shows up in all of the other voices, too. You can save phrases (maybe to show to friends later) and you can also share the voice through a variety of methods as well as force different pronounciations on things. More importantly, though, is the text field where you can listen to the voice say particular phrases. Opening this app gives you controls over that particular voice, so you can set things like the device volume, text-to-speech volume, speed, and pitch. Once you've purchased a voice, it'll show up in your app drawer as a separate app. The free trial lasts two weeks, so there's plenty of time to get acquainted with a voice before you pull the trigger and buy it. If you tap on any voice, you can listen to a sample of the voice, go straight to the Market to buy the voice pack, or get a free trial of the voice.
