SAPI 5.3 Compatible Voices

Does anyone know which 3rd party voices are compatible with SAPI 5.3/Vista?  
Are there any trial editions that work with the SAPI or do you have to 
purchase "full" versions before the API will recognize the installed
voices?

  --- Thanks, Jeff

You'll find some voices here:

I'd ask the vendors about their versioning story but as I understand it, the 
minor version difference between XP and Vista (5.1->5.3) is just a nit.

I don't know about a trialsize, most vendors let you plug text into forms on 
their web pages so you can get a feel for how the engine sounds.
