I've used "Voice Dream" for this for years. It's brilliant. iOS/Android text to speech app:

It has so many voices available in the voice store, and I've had no trouble reading books with it. I'm constantly amazed by the quality of some of these voices when played at high speed... They take breaths, express emotion, everything. My only problem is they occasionally mispronounce brands, names & acronyms: Quite amusing to learn about "Sharr-E-poynt" instead of "SharePoint", "Amd" not "A.M.D", or use an incorrect pronunciation of a character in a book when talking about the book... Can't really see how WaveNet would fix that, but look forward to seeing these voices turn up in Voice Dream.




Tried the 3 demos they linked to, the new Google one is so much better, let's hope they follow suite and improve
