Text to speech convertor

The apple text to speech convertor was pretty good even a few years ago.  This new text to speech convertor which will work in many common languages including French produces a very good accent which you can hardly tell from a natural voice apart from liaison issues.  This is one of the French A level resources I shall be recommending very strongly to my tutees in future so that they can move forward with their pronunciation even when I'm not there.  Simply copy some digital text in-it could be from word or from a news report online and paste into the editable box.  Select your language, choose your speed and click Say it and you're off.  The pronunciation sounds a bit like a high class newsreader. 

This deserves a place alongside the other tools I am featuring on www.alevelfrench.com and which I am sure will make learning the language more appealing to those people who like a technological approach.   Amusez-vous bien avec Text to Speech.
