In this step-by-step tutorial, learn how you can convert text into speech for free and with no time limits.
First, I show you how to turn text into audio using two apps that come for free with Windows 10. You can use the pre-installed OneNote app to read the text and the voice recorder app to record the audio.
Next, we install Audacity to give you more control over your text to speech converter.
At the end, we install the Balabolka app, which allows us to turn text into speech and then download the audio in any format, like wav, mp3, ogg, and other file types. Additionally, learn how to use various cloud services, like IBM Watson, Google Cloud, Baidu, and others to convert your text into speech. You can choose from multiple voices that sound very natural.
With an audio file of your text, you can listen to it again later or you can insert on top of a video.

you sound robotic because you're reading a script and you're not great at acting naturally when reading, like politicians or news reporters or voice actors. not your fault acting or reading acting is not for everyone.

This is a beautifully done video tutorial. It concisely presented exactly what I wanted to know quickly without wasting my time on extraneous banter. I had already spent a few hours investigating text to speech when I found your video and got all I wanted to know in a mere 12 minutes. The computer screen on the video was clear and readable. The demonstrations were concise. It was nice of you to take the time to make this tutorial and efficiently help others. Watching it made me think about making a few videos of my own about things I know about (like Photoshop) so I can help others the way you do.

@Frank14612 10 месяцев назад

That last option was the bomb for me! I was tearing my hair out trying to figure out how to get more voices for Balabolka, but everything that was recommended on the Internet was outdated, obsolete, or just didn't work. Then you pointed out at the end of this video that you can save an input text in a voice of one's choice file directly through one of those options in the Save Audio File window (I chose IBM Watson) from a wide choice of voices (I chose James), not only the artificial-sounding MS David and MS Zira! This means I can now record my own audiobooks from text and epub files! Thank you Kevin! 😂😁

@texttoaudiospeech1259 2 года назад

Thank you for this great information included In the mean time we are offering paid service with HQ human audible voices. Thought to leave it free, but the expense of hosting, API etc. didn't allowed me to leave it for free 😂😅

@askingwhy123 3 года назад

It's amazing how difficult Windows makes it to record system sound. This video is solid gold!

@polymy 3 года назад

Yes, the "stereo mixer" tip was very good and makes Voice Recorder useful for general recording and trimming although it won't save as mp3 only mp4.

@sp1977 Год назад

Thank you. I hate editing, but I found hearing it while I read helps. I've been looking for a text to voice program that doesn't have a word count limit. I've been using audacity for a while now, and knew the trick of recording into it, but I'd never heard of Balabolka. This works wonderfully and I can see the text as it reads. Thank you for making this video and sharing.

Great video once again!! You know, I work as a content creator for a company and I know about TTS and stuff but I discovered how to record the Immersive reader only a week back and here you are teaching the whole world about it. Telepathy I suppose. And yes, you definitely sound better than any of the Natural AI based TTS voices. You rock Kevin!!

Thanks, Kevin. I thought the UK James option was awsom. I've actually cancelled my Speechelo subscription after watching your tutorial on Audacity and Balabollka. I've used both these for years but after watching your excellent tutorials on this and lots of subjects I've swapped over to the freebies, which are excellent. Would like to have a one off payment for Descript, but its rather expensive. I think your tutorials are excellent, so informative and easy to understand. Keep up the great work. Thanks

@williamstapp3882 2 года назад

Great video that has afforded the beneficiaries important and powerful avenues for recordings. Most importantly for me is language learning. Also very significant is the demonstration of how to use Audacity to record to the system. Of course One Note and the Russian app are wonderful options. I have been searching for an efficient way to record in Anki, the learning tool, and have been surprised and disappointed to find obfuscation and chicanery in abundance. It is sad to see that the motives for teaching, or going through the motions, are often any thing but imparting knowledge to the knowledge seeker. A talented teacher is born, not made. Thanks.

Hey kevin. I have a question, using the balabolka program, can I use these recordings for commercial purposes (e.g. making money on youtube)? And can I use these recordings for commercial purposes using this tts online feature in balabolka ? After all, you have to pay for it by going separately to a site such as IBM WATSTON or microsoft azure ?
