Text Aloud MP3 is not too bad. Has less of the "Speak 'n Spell" sound and
more of the kind of vibe one gets with more recent speech synthesis
software. Its kinda like the sound on the talking computer track on
Radiohead/OK computer, or on (I think) track 2 or so on the new-ish Air
album. In any case, it looks to be shareware, and sound not too bad. It
sounds thoroughly comprehensible, but thoroughly electronic. It seems be
set up to dump largish text files (at least larger than with SayIt) to
MP3s. So lotsa chatty goodness to be had.
