If you are into TTS you surly know BalaBolka, it a advanced TTS tool to create audio-books, using SAPI Voices. It can also read text from clipboard as well as install a global hot key to issue a Ctrl+C and than read whatever ended up in the clipboard. While it excels in its job as a audio-book maker, it is lacking features as a TTS Reader. Unfortunately the tool, while being free, is not open source so improving on its TTS Reader qualities is not possible. But what is possible is to cre...
