We converted a 600 word text file and the software took just 3 seconds to convert the file in audio format. The results were good and easily understandable. The software also allows you to control the output speech with the help of standard play-pause-stop buttons found on the toolbar near the top of Balabolka UI. The text file can be saved as a WAV, MP3, MP4, OGG or WMA file by selecting “File – Save Audio File” or “File- Split and Convert to Audio Files” from the “File” menu.
Moreover, Balabolka can also save the synchronized text in external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the audio files. Play the audio file in media players and the text will be displayed synchronously at the same way, as lyrics for songs or subtitles in a movie.
