Want to create some spoken phrase WAV files and don't really want to shell out the bucks for some software you'll only use a couple of times?
For example- I now have a nice lady with an English accent named Audrey letting me know when I have new email. (“Joe, you have new email.“) Just type in the phrase, check the “Display a link for the audio file.“ checkbox and you're ready to download the WAV file. (Put it in %WINDIR%\Media\ .)

This one is a bit gaudy... (Only 12k) Click to go there.
Another one. (Only 1k)
Well, probably should leave this up to my progeny, who has a lot more talent with this stuff than me.
