Does anyone know of an online Stephan Hawkings vioce generator.
Want to use it at school?

Any other voice would be cool to.

Newgrounds groups like the Clock Crew and the Lock Legion use a program called Speakonia.

If you have a Mac emulator set up with System 7.5.5, you have access to a couple dozen voices that are much nicer than Microsoft Sam.

If you can get a copy of Mini vMac, the vMac ROM, and a copy of MacinTalk you can use a Mac speech synthesis program written in 1983... that sounds better than Microsoft Sam.

(I have a boot disk image ready to go, which is redistributable without breaking rules, but if you want to use it you need the Mac BIOS image, which I can't give you. You'd have to find it yourself.

)

If you use the latter two options you will need some sort of audio recording software that can record what the speakers produce. Audacity set to "Stereo Mix" works well, and can record well past Microsoft sound recorder's 60 second limit.

I don't know if this fits what your looking for, but I like to fool around with Analogx's Sayit program to make computerized speech:

Defiantly takes some tweaking to get a phrase to sound right but you get a pretty good render eventually.

vokator works good as well or if you want text to speech i would suggest DECtalk, its old but sounds good, amiga OS has text to speech built in! its neat (yay SAY command)
