I know it's a work around, but I vaguely recall hearing about methods to
convert txt files to audio using a screen reader, or some other text to
audio utility? E. G. I can adjust my JAWS voice to certainly read as
well or better than DoubleTalk, and I could record JAWS reading a text
file to an audio format like mp3; Then load that on a Stream or PlexTalk
and at least have good speech quality for text file reading without
relying on the built in TTS.
Is there some simpler utility / method that accomplishes the same
result? Especially a method that can handle large text files like books?
And perhaps even convert text files to one of the DAISY audio formats
that a Stream or PlexTalk could use, rather than just trying to create
huge mp3 files.
