I received a request for a lead to a "free" program that would read word files aloud in a fairly decent voice. The request was for proof reading purposes, to see how the file sounded, and not for general screen reading purposes. Can anyone suggest such a program? I told the person of text aloud which, though not free, did seem to fit the bill. Any other suggestions?
