Software to pronounce english words

Hi there, i want to get software to pronounce any english word combination, like TalkIt software from Microsoft. For example, if I enter "hi" and press voice button it says "hi", it doesn't need to show defination. Thanks so much.

webster is also free, go to m-w.com and enter the word and then just click on the speaker icons. it'll give you multiple speakers if there are different ways of pronunciation for that particular word.

Thanks u all, here is about TalkIt http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk_It! .
Again, I don't need to know the meaning, the on line dictionaries are for definition + pronunciation, if they can't find the word, they don't give u how to pronounce it. Thanks, all o

Another free website: http://www.howjsay.com/index.php(BrE). No definitions, here.

What if i put words that don't have definition? e.g I type in "nana wawa tata" and let the computer pronounce it?? Any idea anyone?? Thanks so much anyway.

Try Cambridge Learner's Dictionary. It shows definition and you can hear BrE and AmE pronunciation.

In windows 7 simply go to the "Change text to speech settings" and there in the "text to speech" tab (@ "use the following text to preview the voice ") you can type your words and listen by clicking the "Preview voice button" .............
