Are there any computer softwares that can let me type a word so it can pronounce it out loud in Spanish? Google sometimes doesn't pronounce words correctly. I tried an app on phone and it also doesn't pronounce words correctly.
Spanish is one of the very easiest languages to pronounce. With the exception of a dozen or so words that are directly taken from other languages, each word is pronounced exactly as it's spelled. The rules for Spanish pronunciation are few. I suggest you just learn the pronunciation rules, then you won't need a computer to tell you how.

Rosetta Stone is a good way to learn how to pronounce a new language.
There are numerous voice-translator apps available for your phone. The iPhone has a voice translator, but there are other apps you can have in your phone: https://www.bestapp.com/best-translation-apps/
Well, which Spanish? The dialects are very different depending on which country you're in. Even in the U.S. where English is usually spoken, there is a vast difference between how we pronounce things down here in the South compared to the up North pronunciation.
When I lived in New Orleans there were three active dialects of English spoken just in that city alone, depending on where you lived. Louisiana's Cajun French is not at all like Parisian French. There is no standard anything when it comes to spoken communication.

Just tried the first link and the Microsoft translator is not good. It can only pronounce the word it's being translated to and if I type a word in Spanish like hospitalaria it gets translated to English correctly but will only pronounce that word. If I switch it to Spanish, the translator changes the word to hospital when I specifically asked for the other word. Sometimes Spanish words aren't pronounced how they are typed. Sometimes the letter a will be pronounced differently on some words which makes a big difference.

I already know Spanish. I am not a beginner but I am trying to be fluent. Not all words are pronounced how they are typed. Some letters are pronounced differently depending on the words which makes a big difference. That's probably why Google is saying a lot of words incorrectly. An accurate translator would fix this. That's what I am looking for. A translator that will pronounce both in English and Spanish without changing the words I typed like the Microsoft translator I just tried did.
You can learn standard Spanish (kinda like standard US English) - an all-purpose dialect that's understood by any Spanish speaker. Try your local public library, or see if your state public library has a portal to language lessons, or over the Internet. They often offer access to Mango language lessons - interactive, & Spanish is one of them. (Actually, they have Spain Spanish, Latin American Spanish, etc. So you have some choices there.)

Best of luck with it.
I don't need to go to a library to learn Spanish when I am Spanish. I just need an accurate translator. That's it.

Ah, pues. Suerte, en ese caso.
