Hi,
In one of the HelpXPlain examples "Fun with audios" it has a voice over. In the credits it says "The girl's voice has been recorded from the text-to-speech engine of Google Chrome."
Can I ask which specific engine and voice were used?
Thanks,
Steve

Re: Text to Speech Engine.
I don't remember the website, but I think it was https://ttsreader.com/ - but there are certainly more than this one. The website offers detailed selection of text-to-speech languages, depending on the web browser you open it with. With Microsoft Edge you get the Microsoft voices and when viewed with Google Chrome you get the UK female voice that you hear in the "Fun with audios" example. The audio was directly recorded from the web browser.

Hi Steve,
You might also want to try this service:
https://ttsmp3.com/
The voices sound pretty good and it has the advantage that it can save directly to MP3, which eliminates the fiddly recording operations. I haven't tried it yet, but they have controls for things like breaks, emphasis, speed and pitch and 375 words per day free.

Thanks Alexander, I'll check it out. The UK voice sounds almost perfect in the example.Alexander Halser wrote: ↑Wed Mar 16, 2022 9:44 am I don't remember the website, but I think it was https://ttsreader.com/ - but there are certainly more than this one.
