text to speech

Hi,
I am working on a way to let Office 2007 convert text to speech in Dutch
I use this (very old) macro:
Sub TTS()
'Declare and create an Excel object.
Dim XL_tts As Excel.Application
Set XL_tts = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
XL_tts.Speech.Speak Selection
XL_tts.Quit
Set XL_tts = Nothing
End Sub

This adresses the text-to-speech engine trough Excel
I installed a Vista language pack for Dutch and I installed a Dutch
interface pack in Office 2007

The sound I get has an enormous echo and it sounds like a Dutchman that has
drunk to much.
Any help is very welcome
Kind regards,
Tony Thijs

isn't that how they normally sound??

sorry, i just couldn't resist... seriously, do other languages sound ok? Do
you have any special effects enabled on your sound card?
