Should I trust this?

I want a TTS program that's free, and I found this
http://texttospeechfree.org/

Should I trust it?

I use Free NaturalReader, if you're interested. It has lots of voices.

I used to use that too. It's got some variety.

Speakonia is good

And I would prefer one where you could save the sound.

YOU HAVE SELECTED MI-CROSOFT SAM AS THE COMPUTER'S DEFAULT VOICE.

I'm normally not paranoid when installing software I need, but that site doesn't look too legitimate - no community (not even a guestbook), reviews and a generic name, so I see why you would doubt whether to trust it.

But eh, I'm currently in a beat up old notebook so I guess there's no harm in installing viruses - no important stuff here and don't mind reinstalling Windows  tongue  I'll try.

EDIT: Adware; forces you to use some unknown search engine (whose terms of service state that they may use your personal info or something) and tries to subtly install toolbars. Don't trust.  tongue
