Balabolka

Text-To-Speech program

Balabolka is a Text-To-Speech (TTS) program that can use any voices installed on your system (most PCs have at least one Microsoft voice pre-installed). The program can read text from a variety of document types, including Office formats, PDF, text files, web pages and many others. It can also read any text copies to the clipboard or you can type the text to be read directly into the editor window. In addition to reading the text aloud, Balabolka can also export the text recording to WAV, MP3, MP4, OGG or WMA file. The synchronized text can be saved in external LRC files as part of the MP3 tags, which can be displayed (like lyrics) on your portable music player. Balabolka offers extensive customization options, you can adjust voice parameters and articulation, create custom pronunciation rules and a variety of other settings. Additional features include spell checking, batch conversions, file splitting, ID3 tag editing and more.
