Text to Speech... Amazing!

I've listened to computer generated speech for years now, and it is always horrible. Yeah, if you pre-process (basically, know exactly what it needs to say before you start), or allow all sorts of accent coding, you are lucky if you can understand what is being said.

I just spent 20 minutes playing with this page. I know nothing about this... accept that it works. yeah, there is some delay between hitting the button and hearing the talk, but it ain't long.
