Most of those old voices are under the "novelty" category for a reason. However, I had a bad habit of staying up late and I had no compatible headphones, I think it was because the ridiculous trademark issues with the Beatles' label Apple Records meant that Macs couldn't have standard line in or out. (I did have an old PlainTalk mic though.) Whisper was actually really useful because it didn't wake the whole house up.
