text to speech

I am trying to find a decent text to speech converter, does such a product actually exist in the market? I dont really want something that sounds really robotic!

I was on hold once to some company and instead of playing music they had a willy waving company message saying how great they are, it didnt sound like a real person, or maybe it was some professional voice person?
anyway are those done by computers ?
