Text to speech voice

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.

The current best text to speech software is Text Speaker. It has customizable pronunciation, reads anything on your screen, and it even has talking reminders. The bundled voices are well priced and sound very human. Easily converts blogs, email, e-books, and more to MP3 or for listening instantly.
