I will definitely give spokentext a try and leave a comment about it. I have used realspeak as well as my to convert text to mp3 audio file. I like the fact I could choose the voices and accents for this. People will get a lot of fun using these tools.
It useful to sometimes have documents read out rather than be read, which are useful for dyslexics and those partially sighted or blind will benefit from this.
I will also provide a link to this site and the application for as resource for creative media diploma students and teachers alike.
