Good and Free Text To Speech Webpages
 
Hello,
 
Can anyone recommend me a good text to speech webpage, please? I need the pronunciation of some vocabulary words and phrases in an MP3 format, but all the text to speech webpages I have found are not for free or they are of a very bad quality like Vozme. 
 
Thanks a lot in advance!

Hello
 I use these ones. They aren �t perfect but quite sufficient for elementary or intermediate level.

Hi Sandra,
 
http://www.spokentext.net/index.php?lang=en
The free trial is limited but you might be able to get enough from it for what you want. The voice sounds pretty good to me.
 
I like http://text-to-speech.imtranslator.net/speech.asp because the voice sounds quite natural, but it doesn �t offer mp3 download - only a link to the recording.
 
I think you �d prefer free services but if you want a real human and you �re prepared to spend $5, you can also buy the service from someone on Fiverrr. Run this search on Google:
    record English message mp3 site:fiverr.com

It �s great when people say �thank you � afterwards - it feels like a reward (/me winks at Gulsah) for your efforts. I sometimes think that when people say "thanks in advance" it means they are not going to bother thanking you afterwards so it �s somehow less courteous. Just me and my whimsies, I know! :-))
 
So thank you for your �thank you � Sandra! :-D
