							| Hi Cely 
 How is my godson doing? Nice boy? Hope so, of course he is -  he has a super virtual godmother.
 About your question, I think you need a converter - text to audio.
 I know some of those mentioned above, but I prefer this one:
 
 www.xtranormal.com
 It has animation, too, but if you need just the audio, you can leave the animation aside. I use it for both things, even my students use it. I think the sound is fairly good.
 Meanwhile, check your pm.
 Hugs
 I have no news, yet, keep waiting,

							| Hi! 
 With this converter you can upload word or pdf files, paste text or link to feeds. It �s 100% free and you don �t need to dowload a software. The documents are converted into mp3 files to download and send by email or to listen in your ipod or cell phone:

 Have a nice day / evening!

							| They are all great sites and I have tried a few.   In the end I always end up making the recording myself for students anyway.   The purported  �Best synthesised voices yet � still aren �t quite good enough ... yet!!!!       However ... personally my foreign friends and I have a great time translating and pasting messages, then sending the mp3 file to each other as messages!!!   HA!   |  29 Apr 2010
