Text-to-Speech の性能 ちょっと残念な人たちが多いなと思ったのは、自分たちでそのサービスを使ったことない人達がそれを勧めているわけです あなた、自分でそれを試したことあるの？ってコメントで荒らしてやりたいくらいです。 英語、フランス語、スペイン語などでは全く問題ないのですが、 日本語で使ったことありますか？ Elevenlabs、Voicemaker、Murf、AudioPen、Google Cloud TTS、Wondershare Filmoraなど。 有限会社ワイ・イー・ワイの和田です。死に方改革 研究者 及び 旅のデザイナー、あの世への旅です。今日は2025年3月24日、月曜日です。ElevenlabsやVoicemakerと比較しています。では、行ってみようか！I’ve seen all good people turn their head to…

One app I use is Text2Speech.

Here's a couple of screenshots from the app.

Podcasts are on the rise. Nobody has time to read, so audio content steps in to fill the place between your ears with content.

I stumbled upon a few services lately, that allow me to curate my own feed of found audio content on the web.

Huffduffer

You come across a audiofile on the web and you want to consume it in your favorite podcast app? Or an interview on youtube where the video part can be neglected? Or a single episode you want to listen to? Maybe you ripped your old audiobook cds and uploaded them in one large mp3 into your public dropbox folder?

Go to Huffduffer, setup an account for free and start to curate your own podcast feed in adding youtube videos (audio gets magically extracted), single mp3 files (from dropbox or any webpage).

Since the feeds by all Huffduffer users are public you can discover a lot of new podcasts and when you tag your content nicely it helps others to discover new stuff.

Huffduffer is built and maintained by one guy and works smoothly since years.

Narro

A slightly different approach has Narro. This service gives you the ability to listen to articles from websites... in your favorite podcast app.

It’s basically a Text2Speech service that converts articles to mp3 that get added to a podcast feed that you can subscribe to.

My Pocket (the read-it-later service) account counts over 700 articles that I probably never going to read. Finding Narro, I started to add some of them to this service and listen to them. Although Pocket and other read it later services offer a text2speech engine, Narro is the better way, since you stay in your podcast app with all the features you love (like smart speed in Overcast).

Narro offers you 15 article conversions per month for free. You are able to select from a wide range of english speaking engines. Some sound more natural than others.

Listening to a Text2Speech engine can be tiring, depending on how robotic the voice sounds. But having an artificially spoken article thrown in between real podcast content is ok. Here is an example.

Justcast

Before I discovered Huffduffer, I used the service Justcast, that builds a feed out of mp3 files, from a dropbox folder. Unfortunately the app stopped working for me, but it’s worth a try.

Since the free version of Justcast only delivers 3 episodes it’s nothing to use for serious podcasting. But if you want to listen to an audiobook, this service works well.

Overcast offers upload of own content to their service if you become a Patreon. For freeloaders, Justcast is a nice option. You shouldn’t spread copyrighted material as podcast (like commercial audiobooks). But if you keep it all to yourself, it’s a nice workaround.

Convert Text into Audio using Notepad and Other ways.

These days audio book are getting more popular among us. Audio books are very helpful for us we can these book as modern ways. When we are listening music then we can use these books and save our time also. These books are easy to carry and use. We don’t need to find any peaceful place and comfortable place for reading our book. We can use these books anywhere and anytime as we want. And most…
