Any good epub ebook readers that convert to speech/mp3?

going through the standard wiki program lists didn't help

online ones have character limits and the rest....

any good free solutions?

Does it have to be epubs? Something like this might help in the speech to audio section:
Natural Readers

If you can manage with another file type, I suggest this converter. I have used it to convert many things into epubs, I'm sure it can go in the reverse.

Interesting but too bad natural reader doesn't seem to let you output an mp3...

thanks for the calibre link though

possible solution, converts text to mp3

I'm mentioning this program because it does change text into an MP3 file. It is made for Windows. I first bought an earlier version for $17.99 as a download.

Its not designed for an ebook reader of which they're are numerous types and standards.

I just bought the new version from the manufactuer, link below. I went overboard a little and bought the ATT voices. Usually they're like $35.00 each which is expensive. they had a package available with 2 ATT voices for $25.00. You get Mike and Crystal. The program works fine. I just wanted to upgrade so I got the more natural sounding voices.

The default voice is ok. I used it often. The more you listen the more accustomed you become to it, just like listening to people. Linky below for Windows Operating Systems:
