  1. Text to Speech


    Text to Speech identifies the acronyms incorrectly:

    Example: NM is spoken 'nanometer'. Reading Aviation material the NM is 'nautical mile'

    and VOR is not 'voor', it is V.O.R.

    There are more. I would like to modify TEXT to SPEECH speech file or dictionary relative to what I'm reading, in this case, AVIATION material.

    :)

    text to speech

    Do you heard of software which can read text in any application and convert text to mp3, wav, ogg or vox files? I known one - Alive Text to Speech , but it is not a free software, i can use it for 20 days.

    Do you recommend a free software?


    Thank you!

    Text to Speech

    Autoscroll function and speech to text?


    Dear Rarara!
    You should find this MS Support article "Use Speech Recognition" both interesting and helpful. I agree with the previous poster that 3rd-party products (such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, in addition to his suggestion) are better for those in need of more serious and capable speech to text solutions.
    HTH,
