The second installs OK but fails on installing the "Mary" voice on my XP system. It still works with a male voice, though. You need to paste your text into its SayPad window. There are also a bunch to explore at http://www.freewarehome.com/index.html?http%3A//www.freewarehome.com/Home_and_Hobby/Text-To-Speech_t.html and http://www.freewarefiles.com/cat_9_105_Text2Speech.html Good luck. Cheers.

If you do a search on this group using my ID and the phrase 'text to speech', you should come up with some useful info. I recall I ended up using two or three separate programs, linking them together with Autoit ( a scripting module ). It worked very well.
