Can anyone tell me the exact text-to-speech program or voice used in this audio?

http://www.thecatholiccatechism.com/audio/23o25.mp3

I find it very clear and would like to use it myself. I have some voices, such as 'Microsoft Sam,' 'Peter,' so on, but they seem inferior. This is the clearest and most natural one I've heard. The site doesn't tell me what it is and there's no apparent way to contact them to ask. Thanks

EDIT: A 'Text to Speech' ad came up after I submitted this question that has some pretty good samples, so I think I'll just look there. So nevermind my question. Sorry. Thanks!

Nope, but copy and paste some text into this site and listen.

I like this one because i see people use it for software tutorials if they dont want to speak in their video they use this voice.
