Best App to Convert Text to Audio?

How much text? Have used Microsoft Azure AI Cognitive Services for Text to Speech in the past.

I think they may give you .5M characters free per month but it costs after that (not 100% sure on this).

Edit: On second thought it may not be what you are looking for if you are looking to convert a book to audio.

Goto https://clipchamp.com/en/

Start by signing up for a free ClipChamp account. (I signed in from my google account)

You can download the app after signing up if you like (I downloaded it and don't know if web one works as well or not)

Open a new project.

Once you're in your project, look for the "Record and Create" button on the far left (third one from the top) and click on it. You'll find a "Text-to-Speech" option at the bottom, the fourth one from the top. Click that and a 'Text to speech" window should open.

ClipChamp offers a variety of voices and accents. Pick the one that suits your needs. You'll be pleasantly surprised by the diversity of voices available.

Type or paste the text you want to convert to speech.

Click the play button to listen to how the text sounds in the selected voice. This is great for testing and selecting the most suitable voice.

Once you're happy with the result, click 'save to media' text-to-speech as an audio file. It should be a seamless process.

You should see the file on the left pane. Simply drag the file to the timeline.

The downloaded file will likely be in mp4 format, but you can easily separate the audio from the video component if necessary.

Click 'Export' on the top left, select 1080p. After the processing is complete, an mp4 should be saved in your downloads folder (I am using Mac so it might be different for yours if your not on Mac.)

You can then separate the audio from any software.

Clipchamp is free and comes preinstalled with Windows. I believe it is limited to 10 minutes however, maybe behind a paywall.
