dude i asked using programming using some c/c++ not software conversion

what Nav11aug pointed out was indeed correct. It is SAPI (Speech API) from microsoft, its possible to convert Text to voice using SAPI 5.1. There is full API support for C++. In fact SAPI can also be used to convert Voice to Text but its a bit difficult.
Edit : also check this project from CodeProject
