Text to Speech Apps and Alternatives

Text to speech conversion is a common process for those who want to take a break from the computer but also want to be in touch with their work.

Text to speech software applications will convert any text users select into clear natural sounding audio, as if someone else were reading it aloud.

This type of utilities will allow users to choose the voice they prefer (a man's or a woman's) and they can also read the time at predefined intervals.

Even if typically users have the possibility to enter the text that will be read, there are also some text-to-speech applications that will only read pre-defined texts (mostly motivating phrases).
