Text to Voice

I have a friend who is almost blind. He needs a text to voice program to help him with his computer. He uses XP. Any suggestions?

Send a message via AIM to sheeepy the noob
if you mean voice to text like typing i strongly dont, dont, and dont reccomend dragon naturally speaking... after training the whole thing it still doesn't work...

for text to voice you might be able to find help at the sfdt.com forums, because i know many people use a program like that to make voices for there movies...

Far from cheap, but it's the best out there. This is screen reader software.
