[access-uk] Re: Converting text to mp3

Hi. Have you tried Neospeach voices? Nextup.com sell them and I think they are easy on the ear. They don't sound rough as uncle Dan. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Adrien Collins" <adriencollins22160@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi John

I have started to read a book using Daniel but it's
obviously nothing like being read to i.e. audio book, I
don't find I can chill out to a synthetic voice.

I have downloaded text aloud and alive text to speech but
neither of them will install properly, something on my
system is using shared files and the install process tries
to rename these files.




Regards

Adrien

Hi adrien, if you don't like the daniel voice you could use
one of the other
two, tom or samantha. What I don't like is the performance
of the cut down
voices they use on the stream. I think text aloud has a
trial, although I
don't know if it will allow you to convert to mp3. If you
try it and have
problems mail me offlist and I'll see what I can do.
                   John.

I'm just not very comfortable listening to the Daniel

voice

for a long time, mind you that may be better than what the
converted files will use, that'll be some kind of

microsoft

voice I would think.

Hi adrien, I don't know of a free one. I'd use text aloud
for that. Mind
you, given that the stream will read text why do you need

to

convert it?
                   John.
