Hi forum members,
Does anyone know of a programme / website that reads out Chinese texts in Cantonese? Google can only read out texts in Putonghua, which is pretty useful, but can't handle Cantonese.
Thanks!

Sin-ji voice from RealSpeak. Some people may find it useful when learning a new language.
Here are two free ones, but they are online only.
Chinese University Vocal: CU Vocal - 首页
Best Text-to-Speech: Best Text-to-Speech Demo: Create Talking Avatars and Online Characters | SitePal TTS Demo
Thanks Creative. RealSpeak with Sin-ji Voice is purchased in two parts. RealSpeak application goes for HKD250, and Sin-ji, the voice file, costs HKD350.
These are great tools. I tested the Cantonese with a paragraph of a news. I like the Best Text-to-Speech more because the voice and speed is close to a conversational voice. The CU one is a little robotics!
It's interesting when it comes to translate numbers, for examples:
107 units - One hundred and seven units
10 units - One zero units

I've got a pen that does it, you scan the Cantonese, it translates it and either reads it or speaks it back to you...wasn't cheap mind..
