What's the best way to get decent text-to-speech on a web page these days? I'm building a web "app" for my 3 year old son — basically a simple image gallery where the name of whatever he points at is read out loud.

I started out using the Web Speech API, but the voice is absolutely *awful*. Robotic, cold and mispronouncing half of the words. Is that the state of the art of this tech in the browser, or have I missed something?

I don't really care about technology choice, license, or whatever in this context. I just want something that will help him learn, and what I have now isn't good enough for that.
