Nice list!!
However, you forgot to mention Neospeech! I found Neospeech to be the most natural sounding TTS website I’ve ever used and I highly recommend the ‘Julie’ voice if you need a female voice!!
I have dyslexia. Could text to speech software help me read?
Yes, absolutely. And some of them are free – others are a program to purchase. The first link below allows you to type and have it read back – immediately – and the voice is quite natural. There’s are two articles below that reviews ten different text…
I like the first one best. You can translate and convert the text into voice at the same time. It’s really great. I used to convert text into voice here: http://zunav.com/voice.php
Only three words: easy, funny and free. You can choose from more than 20 voices, add to list and export your voiced text easily.

Nice post!
I also recommended another online tool, that’s http://itextspeech.com/ free and easy to use.
This is a good list of websites that provide text to speech tools. I prefer using a desktop based tool – it provides much more flexibility and important features. The best tool is Text Speaker for creating audio narration in a human-sounding voice. http://www.deskshare.com/blog/en/post/Teachers-can-use-Text-Speaker-to-narrate-in-the-classroom.aspx
