Description

Balabolka functions as a Text-To-Speech (TTS) application that provides access to all the computer voices installed on your device. Users can convert on-screen text into audio files easily through the program. Additionally, it is capable of reading text from the clipboard, extracting content from various document types, and offers customization options for font and background colors. Control over the reading function can be achieved from the system tray or through global hotkeys. Balabolka supports a wide array of text file formats, including AZW, CHM, DOCX, EPUB, PDF, and many others. The software utilizes several versions of Microsoft Speech API (SAPI), enabling users to modify voice characteristics like rate and pitch. A unique feature allows users to implement a substitution list to enhance voice articulation quality, which is particularly beneficial for altering word spellings. Pronunciation correction rules can be defined using regular expression syntax, providing flexibility in how words are pronounced. Moreover, Balabolka can save synchronized text in external LRC files or embed it within MP3 tags, thereby enriching the user experience. Overall, this versatile program is a powerful tool for anyone needing text-to-speech conversion capabilities.
