These files after being transformed into audio, you save them in one of these formats: WAV, MP3, MP4, OGG or WMA. This tool is able to read the texts, manages the reading from the already programmed shortcut keys.
Among your options is that Balabolka has some versions of Microsoft Speech, APL, SAPL. This allows us to make a list of words that we want to improve the pronunciation of these in the text, also you can vary the parameters of the voice, such as speed, even the tone.
Obviously it allows you to correct the words of the text that are pronounced incorrectly, in order to give a good understanding of what you are listening to. You can even give your voice better articulation.
Another feature is that Balabolka helps you to save the transformed lyrics into LRC audio files or as MP3. They are stored as if they were the lyrics of the songs, the same is heard with any audio player on your computer.
