I'm looking for some text to speech software, so that I can create my own short audiobooks of pieces extracted from the stuff I read.
A while back I was using a free iphone app called Natural Reader, the only problem is that it takes way too long to convert as it needs an internet connection (which goes off every few minutes) and you must reload it. There is a Natural Reader available for purchase for the laptop, but the only drawback is that it only comes with a tiny selection of the voices available on the free iphone app.
Does anyone know of any other software like this that is desktop/laptop based and has a good selection of voices? If I don't come across a better one I'm going to buy Natural Reader, but I said I'd check first. I did look and I came across some others, but they too were very limited in the number of voices and the quality was very much the same.
Maybe there's something I missed.
Thanks
