I personally work with Acapela Virtual Speaker and can say it does what I want it to do. I not only have a choice in the voice I use, I can also tweak the voice so it can pronounces better the text.

It does however cost a bit of money to export the voices, but because it saves time and effort, it is worth it.

    Hi,

    I agree. I like being able to change what is said, when it encounters a
    word that's not in it's dictionary. Zebra allows access to the voices
    controls in the paid version of the voice. I'm using the MS Anna voice, but
    can't alter it's library.

    I really liked using TextAloud. I have used it in 4 jobs and had very
    good performance with the Naturally Speaking voices.
