I believe Vocaloid from yamaha does that better than anything....but I could be wrong since I don't actually have one. Question

Do you want speach or singing?

For singing Virtual singer is pretty cheap ($40 including melody assistant)

Vocaloid is the best I have heard demos of but it cost lots.

I definetly don't want singing !
I need a good speechsynth, mostly to make all those intellectual mind expanding terrence mckenne like samples that are overused in goatrance Laughing Wink
But fruity sounds way to robotic for this (although I think a few artists used it anyway like Artifact, and The Nommos, etc)

Okay well here's the best in the universe for that purpose:

However, it's not the easiest prog to set up and use. If you have the patience, it has the solution.
