Below are some free options that all support SAPI5 - that is, they will work with most software on a Microsoft Windows machine. All will work with the Thunder and NVDA free screenreaders. Universities and public bodies regularly produce new speech synthesizers from research projects and attempts to support their language or accent. CoolSpeech and TextSound let you convert text to speech and wav/mp3 files with ease. See All 15 Rows On Www.zero2000.comThese either disappear from the web after a year or two or get brought up and commercialised by a new or existing speech synthesis company. ESpeak is the exception: it's been around for a decade at least. But any of the other links below may be broken or no longer provide the voice described. Microsoft Windows Microsoft Windows has shipped with a speech synthesizer since Windows 2000 - Microsoft Sam until Microsoft Vista, other voices since then. English and Chinese were usually freely available. Windows 8 added many speech synthesizers available for lots of languages. You simply install the 'Language Pack' from Control Panel and the voice will appear. Confusingly, Windows 10 also has many voices that are Windows Runtime voices or Mobile voices, not the SAPI5 voices that will work in your software. See on the Blog for more details. None of the below are these Windows Runtime voices. All these SAPI5 voices can be expected to be found on Windows 8.1 and 10, either because (1) I've installed a language pack and found them or (2) they are Windows 8 Korean Heami US English David UK English Hazel US English Zira Spanish Helena French Hortense German Hedda Japanese Haruka Chinese (simplified) Hanhan and Huihui Windows 8.1 and 10 - all the above plus: Mexican Spanish Sabina Indian English Heera Chinese (traditional) Tracy Italian Elsa Polish Paulina Portuguese Maria (possibly Brazilian) Russian Irina eSpeak is an open-source (GPL V3) TTS system. There's a SAPI5 DLL, and commandline options. It's developed by Jonathan Duddington. It's probably the most common speech synthesizer in open-source systems at the time of writing. It sounds like a 'traditional' speech synthesizer - quite robotic - but this means it's exceptionally clear, high-performance and easy to add language support to it. I know many blind people who use it exclusively in preference to the commercial 'human-sounding' voices.

There is a wide range of these, and they are good, but the licence is not GPL: you have permission to redistribute for non-commercial free programs, and you must use the MBROLA program itself to generate the speech. I'm going to assume that the eSpeak DLL calls the MBROLA engine to be in line with the licence. I notice that you have to get the MBROLA voices separately from the eSpeak install. On Windows, you can install eSpeak then run 'C: Program Files (x86) eSpeak command_line espeak.exe'.
