So now I'm starting to listen to books and using www.foobar2000.org and the soundtouch plugin. It's also fun to vary pitch and speed independently I'm finding that lifting the pitch a little helps, but doubling the speed makes the books much more ... um... listenable?
I didn't see any TTS capability in this product. Can you provide a link or information on the TTS capability?
