Chinese Text to Speech that can be Downloaded?

[RogerGe]

I want to change my text into speech, and I normally use "Change in to iTunes track" to do this, but the Chinese voice is really too crap. Are there any good TTS sites that has a chinese voice, that can be downloaded for free? Thanks

Have you tried Google Translate?

Sample

    钱塘江浩浩江水，日日夜夜无穷无休的从临安牛家村边绕过，东流入海。江畔
一排数十株乌柏树，叶子似火烧般红，正是八月天时。村前村后的野草刚起始变黄，
一抹斜阳映照之下，更增了几分萧索。两株大松树下围着一堆村民，男男女女和十
几个小孩，正自聚精会神的听着一个瘦削的老者说话。那说话人五十来岁年纪，一
件青布长袍早洗得褪成了蓝灰色。只听他两片梨花木板碰了几下，左手中竹棒在一
面小羯鼓上敲起得得连声。唱道：

    “小桃无主自开花，烟草茫茫带晚鸦。几处败垣围故井，向来一一是人家。”

Sample 2 (this is really difficult and the machine made a couple mistakes lol)

帝高陽之苗裔兮，朕皇考曰伯庸。
攝提貞於孟陬兮，惟庚寅吾以降。
皇覽揆余初度兮，肇錫余以嘉名：
名余曰正則兮，字余曰靈均。
紛吾既有此內美兮，又重之以脩能。
扈江離與辟芷兮，紉秋蘭以為佩。
汩余若將不及兮，恐年歲之不吾與。
朝搴阰之木蘭兮，夕攬洲之宿莽。
日月忽其不淹兮，春與秋其代序。
惟草木之零落兮，恐美人之遲暮。
不撫壯而棄穢兮，何不改乎此度？
乘騏驥以馳騁兮，來吾道夫先路！
