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.
Description
DeskSentry is a Windows-based automation tool that observes designated areas on the screen using local optical character recognition (OCR) and executes predefined actions when specific text or events occur. This versatile application can respond to various triggers, including alterations on the screen, changes in files and folders, clipboard activity, running applications, log file updates, hotkey activations, and scheduled tasks. Its actions range from sending alerts to communication platforms like Slack, Discord, Microsoft Teams, or via email, to posting updates through webhooks, launching applications, simulating keystrokes, managing dialog controls, and writing information into SQL databases. The actions dictated by the rules can utilize parameters captured by a trigger, such as recognized text or file names. DeskSentry also logs rule activities and captures screenshots locally while keeping rules and settings stored directly on the Windows machine. Notably, it does not require any user accounts and operates without telemetry or cloud services for executing rules, with the only server interaction being for license verification. This application is designed for use by administrators, quality assurance teams, and laboratory staff who need to automate or monitor Windows applications that lack appropriate APIs, thereby enhancing productivity and efficiency in their workflow.
