Hello,

thank u for your answer. Did u know maybe also a good and not very expensive one for windows 10? Many people told me about jaws, but this is very expensive. Since yesterday i download 3 different softwares. My biggest problem is the voice. It should be a nice one and doesnt sounds like a robot. My budget is around 30$.

Thank u, regards

Google docs has a new version of this. I found it really easy to use.

Microsoft edge has the option of text-to-speech on pdf files and I love it, especially online, where there are so many voice options in a diverse pool of languages as well as accents, you name it.
I prefer to convert my books to pdf then use the new edge for windows 10.

Hey! I tried different applications, but there was no adequate voice acting. Many apps are tearing up words. Plus, applications cannot add intonation and make logical pauses. If you need an audiobook, buy an audiobook.

You should try Murf. I often use this when I am reading a scanned copy of a book, and this is just flawless to use. This software is recommendable, and you should give this a try.
