Willow Talk is one such software. It can read out text as well as save the voice to a *.wav file....Unfortunately willow talk is no longer available or supported.

You can do a google search and get willow talk or send me your mail ID so that i can send you the software by mail.

PS:- willow talk is freeware and you can distribute it freely... :twisted:
