Can anybody recommend good text to speech programs? Both standalone and browser-compatible (think of JavaScript reading from a file).

I use narrator, very easy to use and lots of options.
http://marinersoftware.com/products/narrator/ Quite a long time ago I used books2burn and orator but they were very basic.
Narrator and books2burn are for Macs only. And orator does not exist anymore 😟
O! MaryTTS http://mary.dfki.de Written in Java (hence platform independent), free, customizable, can be run standalone, and there is an online demo.

Years ago, there was a voice printer.
It was a printer, like an old Okidata 128, but it spoke. Anything you sent to the printer was converted to a voice. Great toy. But the voice was limited to that of a robot.
