There are programs these days which do pretty good "voices", such as "TextAloud" (which has a whole array of different voices available in different accents - British, American, Australian, Indian, etc). It's not the voices which make it "unlistenable" for me, but the completely unnatural "intonation". They either speak the text completely "flat" or, even worse, they put intonation and stress in the wrong places.
