     Windows built in TTS can be automated using at least VBScript.   
     It can be combined with a batch file if you're not familiar with VBScript.   
      
     @echo off   
     setlocal   
     set tf="%temp%\speak.vbs"   
     echo createobject("sapi.spvoice").speak wsh.arguments(0)>%tf%   
     for /f "delims=" %%i in (spell.txt) do (   
       echo %%i   
       cscript //nologo %tf% "%%i"   
     )   
     del %tf%   
     timeout 2 >nul
