Balabolka is a Text-To-Speech (TTS) program. All computer voices installed on your system are available to Balabolka. The on-screen text can be saved as an audio file. The program can read the clipboard content, extract text from documents, customize font and background colour, control reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys. Balabolka supports text file formats: AZW, AZW3, CHM, DjVu, DOC, DOCX, EML, EPUB, FB2, FB3, HTML, LIT, MD, MOBI, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDB, PRC, PDF, PPT, PPTX, RTF, TCR, WPD, XLS, XLSX.
The program uses various versions of Microsoft Speech API (SAPI); it allows to alter a voice's parameters, including rate and pitch. The user can apply a special substitution list to improve the quality of the voice's articulation. This feature is useful when you want to change the spelling of words. The rules for the pronunciation correction use the syntax of regular expressions. Balabolka can save the synchronized text in external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the audio files. When an audio file is played with players on a computer or on modern digital audio players, the text is displayed synchronously (at the same way, as lyrics for songs). |

The Microsoft Speech Platform allows developers to build and deploy Text-to-Speech applications. The Microsoft Speech Platform consists of a Runtime, and Runtime Languages (engines for speech recognition and text-to-speech). There are separate Runtime Languages for speech recognition and speech synthesis. The version of the Runtime Languages must match the version of the Speech Platform that you installed.
Use the following steps to install the Microsoft Speech Platform (version 11.0):
- Download and install the Speech Platform Runtime
(the file 'x86_SpeechPlatformRuntimeSpeechPlatformRuntime.msi'). - Download and install Runtime Languages for use with the Speech Platform
(file names starting with 'MSSpeech_TTS_').
The Microsoft Speech Platform provides support for 26 languages for speech synthesis. XML tags can be used both for SAPI 5 and the Speech Platform.

GLaDOS is the main antagonist in the Valve Software game Portal. See the Portal Wiki article on GLaDOS for more information about the character.
Generated voice samples:
A simple API is available, for use in home automation projects and similar. You can request a sample, which will return immediately if it exists, or hold for up to 5 minutes, waiting for the sample to be generated. You are free to retry the request until your sample is ready.
The following example saves the generated wave file on your machine for later use:curl -L --retry 30 --get --fail
--data-urlencode 'text=Hello World!'
-o 'hello_world.wav'
'generate'
Alternatively, you can pipe the output to a media player, such as 'aplay', to play it directly without saving the file:curl -L --retry 30 --get --fail
--data-urlencode 'text=Hello World!'
'generate' | aplay
