From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Sapo3 is a suite of scripts-tools that can help the user convert a text file to an audio file.
It uses the tts-edge API for text-to-speech conversion.
Big txt files can be easily converted to audio books, using a wide range of customization capabilities.

When the user runs Sapo3, they will be presented with a menu of options:

o option: Fix name pronunciation with Fix Names

c option: Split text to chapters with Chapterize
v option: Convert File to audio
f option: Check every sentence outcome with Fix Audio option.

m option: Merging Audio Files
p option: Configuring Preferences

I'm somewhat surprised that there aren't a lot of good alternatives but uh, yeah, there doesn't seem to be.

I would have expected there to be at least one or two good TTS engines but I guess that assumption is quite wrong.

As to your other post, it's less that I care in any specific sense that Microsoft knows what I'm reading and more of a (admittedly irrational) dislike of providing anything that an ad company could maybe later use to sell me shit.
