Text To Wav

Text To Wav is a tiny and portable application that enables users to convert text to speech using Microsoft Anna - English. It comes packed with several useful settings that can be adjusted by all types of users, regardless of their skill level.

Since installation is not a prerequisite, you can drop the program files in any location on the hard disk and just click the executable to run.

It is also possible to save Text To Wav to a USB flash disk or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any computer with minimum effort and no previous installers.

An important aspect to take into account is that the Windows registry does not get updated with new entries, and no extra files are created on the HDD without the user's consent.

The interface is made from a regular window that contains a common word editor. Instead of manually typing text, you can load content from a TXT or HTML file.

It is possible to listen to the text spoken out loud, adjust the voice speed, pitch and volume, as well as to convert the text into WAV, MP3 (if lame_enc.dll exists) or a movie, and select the output audio profile (bit rate, channel mode).

Text To Wav lets you customize font properties when it comes to the type, size and others, use a search and replace function when dealing with large amounts of data, manage a dictionary, switch to another language for the GUI, and so on.

The application uses low CPU and RAM, so it does not affect the overall performance of the computer. It has a good response time and works well, without causing the OS to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation. Text To Wav comes packed with some useful settings for translating text into speech.
