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.

[@askingwhy123]

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

[@polymy]

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.

[@TheVirtualArena24]

Don't you know we can record the screen with internal sound and just extract the audio file???

[@UnbrokenAsset]

I believe you put a lot of passion into your videos and you put in the time to research and clearly express your ideas. We are all constantly improving our craft just know this KZbinr and viewer appreciates you. Keep going man you inspire me.

[@texttoaudiospeech1259]

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 😂😅

[@hannah_pharmacist]

Went through so many useless click baits to finally find your video! Such a gem! ❤

[@kenworldtechnologies1567]

This actually one of the most amazing piece of tutorial i have ever come across

[@Frank14612]

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out trying to figure out how to get more voices for Balabolka, but everything that was recommended on the Internet was outdated, obsolete, or just didn't work.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! 😂😁

[@JustBlankNoInfo]

Audacity...I mean you know a few but have the best! Whether Audacity? Whether OBS you do everything with them! What a legend.

[@Marquis-Sade]

You can TTS with Audacity?

[@johnaweiss]

Awesome! Balabolka is the best part of this video. Also folks can use various natural-sounding browser extensions to read webpages (but they're all time-limited or character-limited). Here are my fave chrome extensions: - Speech my text - Text to speech that brings productivity (aka "Intelligent Speaker") - Natural Reader Text to Speech

[@QuarkYifu]

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.

[@kadenhansen]

I full-heartedly agree. Great job!

[@rogueObscura]

Yeah, he mkes really good tutorials.

[@Haseebkhan-11]

@@rogueObscura What if I make a video and upload it to yt then they strike for copyright or something like that?

[@communicationswithkarma738]

Thank you so much! ASL is my first language, I am a C.O.D.A. TTS helps me process language and different communication styles that I struggle with. I used Natural Reader before but it reached it's limit for use.

[@olenalikesutau4611]

I found out that in Edge there are more than a 100 of voices and they sound EXTREMELY realistic!!!! So I reccomend using it. Anyways, thanks for the cool tutorial. I've never thought you could make a system sound recording in Audacity that easily. Thanks.

[@digigoliath]

With so many voices to experiment with, Balabolka is worth a download.

Hi Kevin. thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I badly need a good TTS app and Balabolka is a good fit for my videos. Thanks again. You are awesome!

[@JustBlankNoInfo]

Not "liked" but "loved it". Snap that thumbnail though. I mean no technology or voice can be as sweet and handsome as you! I feel like hearing my favourite music when hearing to you!!! You rock man!!

[@jerrychong1439]

Thank you for the intro video to TTS technology, Kevin. It was extremely helpful guidance to get me started. Your natural voice sounds better :))

[@audiotts_yt]

Yes yes yes

[@PrincessPeach7555]

i can't thank you enough! I have been looking everywhere online for something to read out loud. Thank you so much. And im subscribing :)

[@BarbaraRademacher]

Kevin, I use the transcription app in Microsoft Teams and I am astounded at its accuracy. I'm a math teacher, so my lectures get pretty technical. Still, I find very few mistakes. Now, I want to watch and listen to your video about the converter.

[@AGirlNamedVan]

Aaaahhhhh thank you. Just came across this video. I was checking out so many free but not free tts sites and who knew I had it on my laptop all this time already lol. Thanks. It also doesn't sound bad at all the voice. Much better than others I've heard.

[@RodrigoBedoya]

Excellent video, as always. Thank you so much. Perhaps, you forgot to mention what I think is the primary function of text to speech. People like me with visual impairments use them all the time. Those are our eyes and readers to the world.n

[@imadfawzi]

Your voice is remarkably unique . I prefer to hear it more than computers David. Great videos, great voice, great works .. all works . Thanks a lot

Yay! Thank you so much! This is what I've been hoping you'd cover! I retain more information if I hear it more so than reading so this is extremely helpful. You're so awesome‼️ 🤗 💕

[@sp1977]

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.

[@kirstinhartmann]

Thanks Kevin for this fantastic tutorial. I like your voice more than the computer voice.

[@yoenmiya4925]

wow! awesome! watching your tutorial gives me the chills ... you explain it in a very simple way yet after I watched it, I then realize how useful the skill is. thank you very much kev. :)

[@TheMrleo007]

Easy to understand instruction, thanks Kevin. Once you're done recording for the day, go to sound settings/device properties and click back on your original microphone.

[@johnlawrence8000]

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

I appreciate you so much!!!!!

[@mirosawmendyk9523]

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 ?

[@williamstapp3882]

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.

[@satyajitganguly6233]

[@rushikeshkulkarni9852]

Hi Kevin, this is just a great solution. I am actually preparing for my English test TOEFL, and I needed the audio files of a text transcript for practicing my listening test. The one problem is I have transcripts in a conversation type " Josh : Hi sally, what are your plans after class? Sally: Hi Josh. I have to go visit library to return a book I borrowed." How can I convert this type of transcript in the audio file with two different voices for each person.

Thanks. Your voice is not robotic - it is just articulate and consistent! Textaloud mp3 program is the best - big files into mp3 with full control over pauses -- which I love because I find a 1-2 second pause after a sentence gives my brain a quick chance to reflect and store. Ivona has the best voices I think, but IBM are great too. Going to check out that Russian app you suggested.
