Read out-loud program for pronunciation and proof-reading

Question

In iOS you can ask the computer to read a text out-loud using 'speech'. For me it's very useful, as I'm not a native speaker, to proof-read text and to check the pronunciation. The problem though is that I recently found out that that this last point was not always that good, the pronunciation for example seems to sound unnatural.

Do there exist other online (free or not too expensive) services that provide something similar to speech in iOS?
