I made some progress with TTS programs. It is fun, but the pronunciation and intonation can be way off... Anyway, for those who want to experiment.

Get the SAPI5 voices from this magnet link:

I use Natural Reader on windows. I'm working on a "Self bondage directed by computer generated directions", it's a lot of fun.

I know its not quite the same as the original question... but I started playing with TTS for IOS yesterday.
ended up going with the Pro version of Natural Reader...

It can read from Websites etc and I had it read me about a 5hrs story from Gagged Utopia today while on a very Driving intensive day..

When It first started reading the story I thought i would not be able to tolerate it for very long, but eventually tuned in to it just fine.

It was a story I had started reading but it was very long and never got around to finishing it... having it read to me was much easier.
