ScanSoft, makers of OmniPage, Dragon, and others, offers a product called Real Speak (I think). At least that is what I was told. I accidentally triggered it. The speech was so realistic I first thought it was prerecorded digitized speech. Then, I realized that it was indeed text-to-speech algorithms at work. Perhaps this product goes by another name. Has anyone tried this with JFW?
