EPUB Read Files Aloud Software

Audiobooks are becoming more and more popular, as people can listen to them while walking, driving or performing various other activities. Of course, many books are not available in this from, but you can use text-to-speech engines to hear your favorite e-books being read aloud.

EPUB Read Files Aloud Software is a nifty software utility that enables you to import EPUB files and listen to their audio rendition with the help of several Microsoft speech engines. Moreover, it allows you to save these recordings as MP3 files.

As its name suggests, the application is primarily designed to play and convert EPUB files, but you can also load TXT files or just paste the text you wish to hear in the designated field.

Sadly, though, while you can import multiple files at once, they are not read in succession, and the list is cleared when you shut down the application.

There are a total of three voices to choose from, two female and one male. Most people should find this to be sufficient, but it would have been nice if more were included.

In addition to listening to your e-books within the application, it is possible to record audiobooks and save them as MP3 files.

The process is completed fairly quickly, even when converting very large books, but the encoding settings cannot be customized in any way.

Considering that the application is aimed at people who prefer using their ears rather than their eyes, the outdated interface may not be a major issue, but it is still an important factor.

Overall, EPUB Read Files Aloud Software is a straightforward utility that allows you to listen to e-books being read by several text-to-speech engines. It does its job well, and it even enables you to create your own audiobooks, but the user interface leaves a lot to be desired.
