Hi Doris,
It is not bad, but nowhere near as good as Text Aloud. TA allows you to
change voices in the middle of the file for example. It also reads Word and
HTML files directly. So you do get what you pay for.
All the best
Steve

My favorite free text to speech utility is Dspeech from
http://dimio.altervista.org/eng/
It can convert text to mp3, .wav, and, I believe, .og vorbis. You
will have to convert your MS word documents to text in order to use
the utility but it is free and does a really good job. it has
accessibility settings and can work with any sapi 4 or sapi 5 voice
installed on your system.
