NaturalSoft
This
company provides a free version of its text
reader as well as a paid version. This company
offers package deals that include natural
sounding computer voices at wonderful prices.
They also have a great tutorial on what the
program can actually do. Take time to watch
their short video tutorials. They will give you
excellent and practical ideas on how to use this
text to speech software. The tutorials are
towards the bottom of their homepage.
ReadPlease2003
ReadPlease reader software is a free version
that never expires. The voices are robotic
but do the job very well! I have used this
program to
proofread my work over the years.
This free program does not play the more natural
sounding voices even if you have purchased
additional ones and installed them.
NextUp.com
NextUp
speech reader is very inexpensive and offers
many of the human sounding voices.
This
program is for purchase but they offer a trial.
All these programs and their voices are very
reasonably priced.
Zero2000.com
This
software is the easiest text to speech program
to use. It is wonderful and allows
most of all of the premium human voices to work
on its software. If you have to buy a
program I would purchase this one and add the
voice from NeoSpeech called "PAUL". You
can purchase "Paul" at the NaturalSoft Company
above. Paul is the most natural sounding
computer voice ever created. Most of the voices
are no more than $30 USD each!
This
program is for purchase but they offer a trial.
