To use online text-to-speech tools occasionally for listening practice can be felt a bit like a mini game interposed into reading practice.

As for Google Translate, it appears to me that currently the English voice only usable is that of female voice uttered maybe in American (?) pronunciation. (I'm not confident at all in this judgment in pronunciation classification.) Are there any other options? I ferreted around over the control panel but I did not find what I would like to find.

So I seached for other online free text-to-speech tools and tried several sites. Some services were quick to generate the voice. Some furnished a nice-sounding clearer voice. For the time being, I bookmarked a website named TTSReader.
