What language do you want?

There are UK English versions of the 1.2 release  available from
www.tel.net, I should have the 1.4 version up very soon. They were
recorded by Jay Benham (links from the site).

In terms of text-to-speech there are several solutions, have a look at
www.talklets.com who run a text-to-speech (well accessibility, but TTS
as part of it) software as a service solution.
