I use my Mac's built-in TTS (and very occasionally I try the voice recognition) with foreign language texts. It's got support for a lot of languages with different regional accents, and you can change the speed at which they speak, so it's useful for learning practice when native speaker materials like subtitled films are going too fast for one's understanding.

I don't really use the English voices, though. I'm not much of an audiobook person, probably because I read a lot faster than I can listen, and I usually prefer to get through my reading sooner than that takes.
