New voices for text-to-speech software

There are some new voices for people who use text-to-speech software to read text aloud.

It is FREE and works on both Mac and Windows.

One of the new voices includes a Scottish voice called Heather. I spent all of my childhood in Scotland so this voice feels like home to me.There is a welsh voice too.
