Text to speech is a wonderful tool when it comes to accessibility issues. For a long time we had Text to speech in English and other European Languages but not for Tamil.
Today I come to know that there is a tool is being developed at MILE Lab’s. Now tool is still beta but it works fine. I typed some Tamil text like “அன்பே ஆறுயிரே” to my surprise the automated tool read it correctly.
It’s worth giving a try. Hope they’ll release API and all the stuff around it, so we can integrate such services in our websites where disabled people can make maximum use of it.
Try the tool at http://mile.ee.iisc.ernet.in:8080/tts_demo/

Actually one of the really good ones I found so far for tamil text2speech.
I tried a few paragraphs from ponniyin selvan’s text which is one of the challenging ones and it did reasonably well. There is a kind of a ringing tone before each word which is prevalent in other text to speech software as well. If this can be cleaned out, will make it a really great product

Thanks for sharing.
There are text to speech freeware and shareware programs available at Panopreter.com(http://www.panopreter.com), The software read text and converts the text to mp3 and wav files with the voice of Microsoft Anna on Windows 7/Vista.
