Licence: Freeware
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 2000/XP/2003/Vista/7
Speech API: 4.0/5.0 and above
*** Portable Version ***
Portable Balabolka does not require an installation and can be
run from a USB drive. A computer must have at least one voice
installed.
ATTENTION! If the "WMVCORE.DLL not found" message appears,
you should download and install Windows Media Format 9 Runtime:

*** Text To Speech Engines ***
Balabolka uses a Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine to read text files.
If you do not currently have a TTS engine, you can download one
for free from Microsoft web-site:
http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.aspx
If you have a TTS installed you will see a list of available
voices in the main window of Balabolka.
The program supports both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 Text-To-Speech
Engines. SAPI 4 is an older technology, so I recommend the using
of SAPI 5.
To use SAPI 4 you need to install spchapi.exe:

US/spchapi.EXE
If you are interested in some higher quality voices, please see
the help file of Balabolka.
*** Donation ***
