Creative SOundBlaster had a program back in the dos days called DrSabastio or something like that. His voice is now a classic!
Creative also had Creative Talk back in the day. Good luck finding these, and running them in a non dos based OS

Cantor is my favorite as sideFXed says in the begining is hard to program but when you mastered him once results are whery nice...
Never let computers to win a game! :)

I think the best and i truthfully mean it, the best, vocal based-synth software ever made is "VocalWriter" by KAE Labs. Unfortunately, it has been written for Mac only
http://www.kaelabs.com
Check out the MP3 demoes.
Other than that, you can hear some cool Shpongle tracks enriched with this amazing piece of software.
Vocaloid? pfft sounds like a lame attempt to imitate a true vocals in my opinion.
Vokator? well it is a great plugin but it does not produce words...just an effect.
Cantor? I tried to mess with it quite a lot and also read manuals...Pfft..This one is awfully uncomfortable... and pain in the ass to work with. I bet it is so with Vocaloid as well. Other than that, it`s synthesis seem to sound nice but too synthetic to my ears.
Alternative way to have a cool robotic synth-like is simply to use a vocoder over a regular computer generated speech.
A cool Vocoder effect i'd highly recommend is the VST plugin called 'Vokko' by KlangLabs.
http://klanglabs.siliconemusic.com/products/vokko/vokko.htm
Be sure to check out the demos on that site.
Its a great plugin to add to the list (And hey! it was made in SynthEdit).
I have not found myself anything for PC platform that comes close to the VocalWriter for Mac. Maybe someday...
Cheers
Gary
