Hi Vaok

I'm not familiar with that sort of program -- which doesn't mean there aren't any. If you google for "convert text to sound", for example, you do get some results. I have no idea how good (or bad) these programs might be.

Hi, Vaok

I'm afraid I can't help you with the software you're looking for, but I think you made a mistake: the word "software" is uncountable, so don't put the indefinite article before it :) (well, I like indulging in nitpicking)

TTS, Text to sound. The output voice/sound depends on the program you use, or the "voice system" on your computer. Which you can find it in Control Panel > Speech. Windows should have that function too, you can find it in Start > Accessories > Accessibility > Narrator. The instruction should be there.

Hope this helped.

Hi, HawttDawgg

Actually the program should convert text into phonetic signs, not into sounds, as Vaok explained in his original post.

Here are the results of a Google search for "text to phonetics software"

I have no idea whether any of it is good or reliable -- or safe to download, for that matter.

But he also says, " I mean a software that can chang an English passage into their pronunciation "

Sorry I don't understand what he means... :(

Hi HG,

Sounds like 'knock some acceptable English pronunciation into them' or 'break an entry gate open for English pronunciation'.
