Oh, on listening to the post, I've been using Edge browser's default read-aloud function for a while. It has amazingly natural voices from microsoft's repertoire. Works on any website. Or even PDFs, if you open them with edge.
Peakd one is good but i think they are using some open source voices, and these can feel robotic at times. Try edge sometimes and see how you like it.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Yes, it's bloody robotic. I've been trying to figure out how to change the voice. On my MacBook, it's a robotic man, and on my Android mobile, it's a lady's voice with a weird tone and accent 😆.
Listening is smooth and continuous from my Safari browser, but from Chrome, there are some odd pauses and missing some words when I listen on PeakD.
Thanks, I'll see what I can find.
Uh-oh, I guess you won't have MS edge on a macbook.
There's a site with quite a natural text-to-speech egnine, its a demo version, so free, but the downside is you have copy paste the text you want to listen to. This may become tedious at times, I know.

Thanks! It's still worth checking out this link:)
