Morning Pat,

I would try Balabolka first, it is free. Though you may need to try different voices to find one that is most understandable to the student.  Most commonly available TTS engines handle "romance" based languages very well and almost all US medical terminology is based on Greco-Roman language.

Does anyone have recommendations for a reasonably priced text-to-speech software that accurately reads medical terminology?
Thanks for your help.
