Text-to-Speech in Languages other than English
OS X only offers US English text-to-speech voices, and they are not of a very high quality. What alternatives are available?
ATMac
Assistive Technology for Apple and Mac Users
What is ATMac?
ATMac covers all Apple products with a slant towards disability. We have an interest in users with a disability, adaptive and assistive technology, and making accessible programs and content. We aim to cover all Apple products including all Mac OS X computers - the iMac, MacBook, Mac Mini, Mac Pro, and older models; the iPod range; the iPhone and iPod Touch; and other products such as the Apple TV and Apple Remote Control. As well as people with a disability and assistive technology users, our audience includes teachers and educators, supporters such as parents and families of AT users, content producers, and application developers.
