SoundGecko has apps for leading mobiles – Apple, Android, Windows Phone – and can sync files to Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft SkyDrive. (It did one for film critic Roger Ebert, and you can listen to its fake Barack Obama.) I even preferred it to Edinburgh's CereProc which is famous for offering custom voices. I found it much better than Natural Reader. However, it actually uses Neospeech – which I hadn't heard of before – and the results were surprisingly good. SoundGecko uses Windows Azure as its cloud platform so I thought I knew what to expect. (I used AT&T's Natural Voices as a reference point ( WAV). I tried a few using Robert Frost's poem Fire and Ice, and SoundGecko and Yakitome produced the best results. There are also several websites where you can upload a file for processing and then download a converted version.

There's a free trial version of Text Aloud 3 – which can also integrate with Microsoft Word – so you could download that and see if it's worth $29.95 to you. Some paid-for solutions offer more features and/or produce better results. Balabolka is free.įree alternatives include Spesoft text to MP3 speaker, and Zabaware's Ultra Hal TTS Reader, which saves files in the WAV format.
It supports both SAPI4 and SAPI5, so it works with a wide range of voices, both free and commercial.
There are the usual sliders to change the speed and pitch (fast/slow buttons are too crude to be useful).
#AZURE SPEECH TO TEXT MP3 PDF#
It supports a wide range of sources including RTF, PDF and many ebook formats, and offers a wide range of outputs including WAV, MP3, MP4, Ogg and WMA. I can't say which is best, but Balabolka is worth a try.
#AZURE SPEECH TO TEXT MP3 SOFTWARE#
There are dozens of TTS programs for Windows, ranging in price from free to $100 or so, and some are listed in 19 free text to speech tools for educators and The best text to speech (TTS) software programs and online tools. It works with versions of Microsoft Word from Word 97 to 2010 but you must download the correct version. It allows you to change the voice and the speed of the speech, and save it as a WAV or MP3 file. WordTalk is another plug-in for Microsoft Word, and it's available free from Call Scotland at the University of Edinburgh. Otherwise, you can play back the MP3 file using any MP3 player. There's a range of programs to handle DAISY files including DaisyWorm for the Apple iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and Go Read for Android. It makes audio files much easier to navigate. It was developed in Sweden in the early 1990s and adopted by America's National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped. This will save your RTF (Rich Text Format) or other document as an XML ebook and a synchronised MP3 audio file created using Microsoft's TTS software and the LAME encoding engine.ĭAISY is the world standard for digital talking books, the name being derived from Digital Accessible Information System. This lets you select "Save as DAISY" from the Word menu and then "Full DAISY". If you have Microsoft Office, try the open source Microsoft Word add-in Save as DAISY, which works with Word 2003, 20. There are also lots of separate programs that either use Microsoft's SAPI (speech application programming interface) and Speech Platform software or bring their own TTS system.
In Microsoft Office 20, Speak is built into Word, Outlook, PowerPoint, and OneNote. However, I'm not familiar with Python options for reading real-time audio buffers from a Microphone, and writing to WAV file.As you appreciate, TTS is also part of Microsoft Windows, where it is currently used by Narrator to provide screen-reading facilities for people with impaired vision. See function "speech_recognition_with_push_stream" in this file.

We have Python samples showing how to use Speech SDK with push stream. At the same time, you can push the same audio buffers into Speech SDK for recognition.
#AZURE SPEECH TO TEXT MP3 CODE#
You can write code to read audio buffers from the microphone and write it to a WAV file. What I think you can do at the moment (it will require a bit of programming on your part), is use Speech SDK with a push stream. We have heard this customer request before and we will consider adding this feature in a future version of the Speech SDK. Unfortunately, at the moment there is no built-in support for simultaneously doing live recognition from a microphone and writing the audio to a WAV file. This is Darren from the Microsoft Speech SDK Team.
