Of late, speech synthesizers have been very much in fashion, especially in the wake of all the videos that appeared on the Internet in which this type of program is used for telling stories.

TTSReader is a free Windows application that lets you make your computer read out loud any text document, or even whatever you are typing as you type it.

You will have at your disposal a number of voices, male and female, young and old, which, for now, are only available in English.

You can regulate the tone yourself thanks to the set of controls included in the program. TTSReader is a great choice if you are currently testing speech synthesizers and not sure which one to go with.
