							| TEXT TO SPEECH SOFTWARE 
 |  
							| Hi everybody!   I�m trying to find a free text-to-speech software that enables users download the Mp3 or wav audio files version of a short written text.  I�ve found some, but I�m looking for one with voices that sound natural and not robotic, and most of all that has no restrictions in terms of use (as I would like to insert the audio files in powerpoints and videos to share in the net).  Yes, I know, I�m very demanding, and I think it�s a �mission impossible�, but I want to try to ask you anyway� do you know a software like that?    Stefy  |  24 Jan 2012

							| Hi Gra�a! Thank you very much for the links!  Actually, I already know Natural Reader and I think it �s rather good but unfortunately you have to pay to have the natural voices... and it �s rather expensive!  Anyway, I want to thank you very much for your answer! All the best!!   Stefy |  25 Jan 2012
