Text-to-speech websites let you enter a text in a certain language and then transform it into speech (audio file). I found them to be very useful for learning pronunciation in the languages I am learning (although you cannot always trust them 100%, but still...)
Here are some examples for Romanian:
http://www.ivosoftware.com/index.php?option=com_ivonaonline&vo=4&Itemid=38 - limited to 200 characters; sample text sounds almost perfect and natural
http://www.phobos.ro/demos/tts/index.html - this one sounds a little more robotic, but it does not limit the size of the text (you can transform whole stories)
http://www.baum.ro/ro/online/online.html - this one also offers a downloadable version; it produces a .wav file you can save; it allows you to modify speed and intonation.
