But this is cumbersome. I've researched a little and Microsoft Edge seems to use the Microsoft Azure Text-to-speech technology, and it is available via API for free.

If somebody can develop such a plugin that convert books to audio files using Microsoft Azure TTS API, it would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, the developer is not longer able to provide ongoing support. The hope is that it will work for Calibre 5.x.

I don't do Windows, so I can't tell you how well it works.
