Is there any text-to-speech program which can use my voice?

Question

Is there such TTS (Speech Synthesizer) program which can read with natural voice by gathering voice data with reading instead of just reading with computer voice? I understand it is possible, since some students made a similar program in Serbian FON (some kind of Computers University). They made it like this: you read something in the microphone, and after computer gathers up some data, you can write something and let the computer read it with your voice. I found it amazing, but it is program in development and is neither available to buy, nor to speak English. So is there such program in English?

Answer 1

Many of them but there isnt one commercially available that works very good when it comes to converting your speech to text. I use IBM via voice and it works well when converting text to speech but to use it to convert speech to text it isnt vey accurate even with it fully trained. I have tried others and they are all the same. Speech recognition is far from perfect yet. If you just want to convert text to speech any of them will work.
