Hello list, I have been using Cepstral's 8KHz voices for my text-to-speech service for some time now, and have been noticing that the voice quality is really poor, doesn't matter what phrase I give it to convert. None of the other 8KHz voices I have ever used were this bad. It doesn't seem good enough system to be used in a commercial system. Is there any better quality text-to-voice engine?

I am using app_swift. As a side note, demo on their website also generates sounds which at places sounds like robotic.
