Hi Barry, I would agree with this approach. The trouble with doing it in Goldwave is that you are doing it in real time, whereas Text Aloud can speed up the synthesiser and record no end faster. You don't hear the recording as it is being done, but it is very fast. When you play it back however, it is at the speed that you set in preferences in Text Aloud, so you can have the synth at any speed you want too.
