Go to MS and do a search on Speech API 5.1 sdk Download, and you should be able to get it.

Doesn't need to be installed on most XP but before XP you will need to install on the system.

Disgustingly simple to use.

Set a reference to the Speech Lib (COM Reference)
then

    Dim sApi As New SpeechLib.SpVoice
    sApi.Speak("This is to F ing easy!")
    sapi = nothing

Told you it was hard!

Oh yeah..

There are about 4 voices you can select from.

The default is female and i kind of like it. But if it is only numerals and very simple words you need the last voice is really good.

The middle 2 are ok..
try

    Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
        Dim s As New SpeechLib.SpVoice
        Dim t As SpeechLib.SpObjectToken

        For Each t In s.GetVoices
            s.Voice = t
            s.Speak("This is too F ing easy")
        Next

        s = Nothing
    End Sub

YOu will notice that the last one is what your children hear when you speak
