Before I go to google, does anyone know programs or features best or recommended that will have a computer voice audibly read text?

I'm hoping it'll help me to study while I'm doing other stuff. Multitask FTW!

What's wrong with Microsoft Sam?

Maybe he is looking for something more EVA/CABAL-like? Like, something more serious than Sam.

You can make pretty mechanical sounding voices by heavily editing Microsoft Anna (the new one) with things like reverb and pitch changes.

yeah Microsoft Anna is a good voice. The only thing is, I can't find a way besides Microsoft Narrator to use it.

Ideally, I need something that'll play, stop, and repeat a specified file and/or selection of text.
This is actually an attempt at multitask-studying, so I can have this stuff play in the background while I'm doing things like playing Call of Duty.

As it is now, I could probably just make a recording of Narrator reading stuff, then play it back in itunes as many times as I want

Uhh I did have one, what I used for that Hyper-BuildConst song from a while ago, google definately is your friend, I just can't remember the damn name.

I remember one of the voices was an English accented one named Daniel that came in the package (the one I used in the song thingo)
