I need your help
 
Hello,
I need your help concerning a site or sites to convert text into speech. I have found a lot of them,but I need a site where a text can be converted to dialogues because in our coursebook ,here in Algeria we have to read the script for the pupils and iT BECAME SOMETHING BORING AT LEAST FOR THE COLLEAGUES I know.
THE SCRIPTS ARE AT THE END OF THE COURSEBOOK AND FROM TIME TO TIME I notice that some pupils read and don �t listen though the lesson is listening not reading

Have you tried looking for an audio for the book you �re using?
Another suggestion: try looking for a native speaker who would be willing to do an occasional recording for you and send it to you.

Try typing "text to speech" in google... you �ll find what you need. I downloaded "FeyRecorder" - you can type in your sentences (or text - although I only use it for short sentences) and then save the file (waw for example) on your computer.
