    Text to Speech Software
    I am interested in using a text to speech software program so that I can burn reading material onto Compact Discs to listen to while I am driving. In the course of my work, sometimes I have to drive some pretty long distances. Last week, a customer of mine burned a story onto a CD that I could listen to while making the drive home from his town. I was very impressed that such a thing could be done.

    My questions are: Can anyone recommend a text to speech program that is free or doesn't cost big bucks that I could download or purchase from a store? Also, are there any text to speech programs that a person should avoid? I am very careful about what I put into my computer and don't like a lot of extraneous stuff in it other than just the programs themselves.

    Thank you!

    Convert text to speech software for natural voice.

    Let your computer read most documents with

    Natural Voices and convert text to MP3, or text to WAV files
