This one is really, really cheap but lacks quality. Then we have Amazon Polly, which I’ve seen its use in Youtube videos mostly. It’s mostly intended for Startups that can’t afford several voice actors but can do with a somewhat premium TTS. I’m a lazy reader.Īnother pick is DeepZen, which has great voices, but a hefty price for its services because it’s not intended for its users to hear audiobooks with it. If I had to read it on my own, it’d probably take me one year at least. I listened to Yahari Ore no Seishun Love Come wa Machigatteiru (Oregairu) using Kukarella, and I think it took like 4 months to read the whole series. In the case of VNs, it can read 2 to 4 books. Its basic plan covers at least one entire book and, maybe, two books in one month. It’ll take some time adapting to it, sure, but it happens for most TTS, honestly. Its prices are very accessible for listening to books and its voices are decent enough. My favorite option is Kukarella for hearing audiobooks. What makes them different is how they each price their services.

There’s definitely a bunch of good TTS software out there. So that's why my ebook to audiobook conversion includes text editing beforehand I later listen to the audio without any ebook screen or printed book nearby to reference (although having these other forms around is useful for looking at charts, graphs, learning the exact spellings of persons' names or places, etc ) Because if there is a screen with the ebook nearby while you listen, you can occasionally pause and look at the formatting, white space, etc of the ebook, to find your place and verify chapters etc While a true audiobook needs to convey the content of the book without any visual or paper display. Last, using an as-you-go voice reader with an ebook, such as on an Amazon Kindle, on a phone or tablet, is slightly different than a real audiobook. A human audiobook narrator takes a short pause, or a long pause, between minor or major sections of a text, while a computerized narrator just continues at the same pace from end of sentence in one section to start of sentence in the next section. I insert break text, such "new section.", or "quote" and "unquote" to mark different sections of the text.
I do some extensive editing to an ebook text before processing with Speech2Go, to remove footnote references, to remove long URLs, etc long tables with text don't translate to audio well, some acronyms also.

The text from an ebook does not usually translate well automatically to an audiobook without some manual editing.
You can play a sample of the voices at the Speech2Go website before purchasing, to try to find your preferred voice. but I bought an Ivona UK voice - because the UK voice sounds a bit foreign to my ears anyways, so I find a computerized UK voice less off-putting than a computerized USA english voice.

The basic software is 29 Euros but you need to buy at least one voice, 39 Euros each, or a combination package, at a slight discount, of software plus one voice (55 euros) or software plus two voices, etc There's a 30-day free trial. It takes plain text as an input and creates an. I use Speech2Go, Windows desktop software.
