Text to speech plugin?
Is there any tool that can take a full-text book (e.g., EPUB or TXT) in my Calibre library and read it aloud with reasonable quality?

Google for text to speech software for <your operating system>
Once you've identified a program you like, then you can integrate it into Calibre using the existing Open With plug-in. BR Last edited by BetterRed; 05-04-2013 at 09:24 PM. |

Just install the plugin and read its thread - all the info you need is there, the plugin is shipped with links to various applications - no tts tho'
My experience is that different people have different tastes when it comes to 'voices'. Try to find a product that lets you install different voices, then you can have a bit of variety, voices are available from outfits like Acapela, some are free others you have to buy. The Mac has a built-in text to speech program, I have no idea whether its suitable for reading books - why don't you try it. BR |
