This site is currently demoing text to speech tech. Just type in a sentence and your off.

I'm going to try babelfishing + this.


MMmmmmm that guy sounds like chicken.

Nothing particularly new -- a friend of mine is a speech therapist and sells devices like this to people who cannot speak. They've come along way from the synthesized robot-ish voices. Still cool though :)

Wow, that is amazing! Stephen Hawkings should upgrade his speech synthesizer with this.

Eh, how is this different than the programs we had 10 years ago that came with the Sound Blaster 1.0?

The main difference between this and the stuff available 10 years ago is quality. I use the built-in Office XP speech recognition (which sucks, since I haven't taken the time to properly train it yet), and the text-to-speech. The text-to-speech of MS's stuff is pretty amazing (surprising, considering it's a MS product ;) ).
