    ... a process that converts text to speech (preferably to mp3 format) and doesn't sound like a f*ckin Dalek.

    Not that I've heard a Dalek shagging mind you.

    Serious return comments please. Glibness, attempts at wit and general buffoonary will be, as usual, sneered at.

    Fisher Price do some decent tape recorders. Handy to wipe stains off and that when Addio dribbles and such.
