Sorry, but this question is too broad/unfocused for my taste. I thought you had a specific purpose in mind that I we could help with.mech-eng said:For all devices. Phone, PC and others if there is any. (The devices people have been using are becoming more and more smart in time. Such as cars. So I said others). But mainly for PC.

Any of the links CWatters posted would work. Just hunt around for what you want, some have limits on how much text they're willing to do for free, some don't. I use this for editing because having someone read it to me helps me hear it and computers don't misread like humans do.mech-eng said:Just for listening, For example I could listen a story or a lecture note.
Video games, handicapped accessibility, teaching, websites, telephony... it's used for lots of stuff.mech-eng said:What are the some special purposes for this programs?
