17)Here's a link to Chinese Pen download page (stops working after 3 months of use).

You can use this program (above) to draw simplified/traditional Chinese characters, read selected text aloud in Putonghua(in male or female voice). (You can set up both the speed of writing and reading). The quality of reading aloud may not be 100% but it's very close, if you struggle with tones.

18)Here's an online tool (Bell Labs Mandarin Text-to-Speech Synthesis)
