Can someone please recommend a very good Text-to-speech software that sounds as human as possible?
 
Google tts. There's api available, and it's damn good.
 
This one sounds really good https://text-to-speech-demo.ng.bluemix.net/

Checked it out and I really like it, although the male voice sounds sad but it's natural enough. Is this a free tool?
 
Cool. I have heard of it but never tried it, is it free?
Free upto a certain limit (not sure what the limit is. Haven't used them for ages). I think it will be okay if you don't have a big requirement. You could even bypass the api and use their translation service's tts feature (the one that speaks the words out) if you know what you are doing. ;)

Nope I don't know what I'm doing when it comes to Google tts. Could you give me a few pointers

It depends on what you are looking for. Trying to bypass the api and use the web version? You will need a js enabled bot which needs to look like real user. It will go to g translate, type the words, and download the generated audio file. I am almost sure python already has something like this. Google it before reinventing the wheel.

For api, it's pretty simple calls.

Okay you just confused me. Lol.
I have no idea what an API is or how to tweak anything.
 
Google is your friend, lol.
Here's what I found using g search..

Code:
https://pypi.org/project/gTTS/

You will need some python knowledge to implement this, but it looks pretty simple to me.

May I ask what someone would use text to speech software for?

Can you use it for YouTube vids?
