Sadly it is in an American accent - but you can choose the gender of the voice and modify it a little. You're probably looking for something a little more advanced than this - but thought I'd point it out as it is so quick and easy!

This has been possible on every Apple Mac for the last fifteen years or so, and you have the option of changing the voice if you want, unfortunately the good versions that are available for Windows are all relatively expensive.

Re: [WSG] Software to read aloud web pages (targetted at literacy issues not vision issues)
It'd also be interesting to know if it reads aloud in an American accent!! Or perhaps the better question would be, if there is ANY software like this that doesn't use an American accent ...
