if so, some app using Microsoft Speech API may be alright with you?
Sorry, I'm not that much into this topic, so I cannot say, which
one works best for you:
http://www.authorsoft.com/language-reader.html
Supported document formats: Adobe Acrobat (PDF), Microsoft Word
(doc, rtf), Microsoft Excel (xls), Microsoft PowerPoint (ppt),
HTML (htm, html, shtml), Text (txt).
This may require to record what is read to create audio files.
if "audiobook" usage (without computer) is required. Try for
example http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ for that.

DSpeech - Allows you to save the output as a .WAV or .MP3 file.
http://www.bercutfinland.com/WikiTalkTL/WikiTalkMain.html
Usually another intention, but features text to wav/mp3

Free registration should enable .wav export

Thorsten
