I am currently writing an article about text-to-speech, and therefore a number of the entries will be about that work. Today, I give you the list of all the voices I know of that can be used for text-to-speech. If you know of others, please let me know. As far as I know, these can all be used with other software such as Balabolka.

Hi Alastair,
Thanks for this. Perhaps I should have written "Languages" rather than voices, as I am trying to find out what places are covered.
Best wishes, Ian
I use the free version of natural reader.

It has the advantage of reading text within a document rather than having to paste elsewhere.
Also, Acrobat Reader allows you to read pdfs aloud.
eSpeak, open-source:

IVONA voices: you can actually purchase these individually, where most voices need to be purchased with some other software. English, Polish, Welsh, Romanian:
