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?

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!!
