Some users may need to voice text in a male voice online. This could be any advertising text, fiction, or other text genres and styles that need to be transformed according to the “text into voice” principle, without resorting to downloading various programs to the PC. In this material I will tell you what online talkers with a male voice exist in Russian, I will give a description of the corresponding network resources, and I will also explain how to work with them.
If you are interested in an online talker, then I will immediately note that in most cases the ability to reproduce text for free is limited to a few hundred characters in size, but for full functionality you will have to pay extra. This is due to the advertising nature of such resources, designed rather to demonstrate the capabilities of the voice engine, rather than to fully voice huge volumes of user text in a male voice.
So, let's move on to directly listing and describing the capabilities of the network announcer resources we need.
Linguatec resource for reading text by voice
The first online talker with a male and female voice that I want to talk about is the German resource Linguatec. The maximum amount of text that can be voiced is limited to 250 characters, which, however, is quite enough to demonstrate the capabilities of the specified voice engine. For full functionality without restrictions, you will have to pay real money.
To take advantage of the resources of the resource, go to it, in the “Voice Reader” sign, select the Russian language (Russisch), and just below, from the presented voices, select the male voice (Yuri). Below, enter the text you need (up to 250 characters) and click the arrow button (Play).
Oddcast - online speech synthesizer
The Oddcast resource can also act as an online talker, and the size of the spoken text is limited to 170 characters.
- To work with this resource, go to it, in the language selection window (Language) select Russian, and in the window for selecting a male or female voice, select male (Dmitri).
- In the “Enter text” window, enter your text, and then click on the “Say It” button.
- The “Effect” option included in the engine’s functionality will give you the opportunity to experiment with various sound effects (whispers, robotic voice, accelerated voice, and so on).
iSpeech - service reproduces text to speech
Another resource called iSpeech, which has a Russian voice engine of fairly good quality. At the same time, the volume of reproduced text is also limited to about 200 characters, allowing you to voice the Russian text in a male voice online.
To work with the resource, go to it, find “Russian Male” in the list of languages on the left, enter your text in the window on the right and click on the “Play” button (you will have to wait a few seconds while the system processes the text).
If the iSpeech service is not suitable for you, go to the article about or read further.
The IVONA resource reads any text out loud
Another online talker with a male voice in Russian is IVONA. This resource has one of the highest quality voice engines, but the ability to speak a certain amount of free text, which was available until recently, is not currently available (maybe it will be available later)
However, the opportunity to demonstrate the capabilities of the existing voice engine remains. To do this, you need to go to this resource Ivona, find “Russia” in the list of available languages, click on the button on the right, and, selecting the male voice (Maxim), click on the button with the arrow (Play).
A little more about voice engine standards
As for the main voice engine standards available today, the two most common today are SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 (“SAPI” is an abbreviation for “Microsoft Speech API” - translated as “Speech Programming Interface from Microsoft”). SAPI 4 is an outdated standard, created back in 1998, now little used, SAPI 5 is more modern, has better pronunciation, the latest modification is SAPI 5.4 (at the same time, SAPI has 5 free votes less than the outdated SAPI 4).
As for speech synthesis programs, one of the most popular of them is “Govorilka”, which allows you to voice voluminous texts quite efficiently, and with different voice options (both male and female). The installation version of the product usually contains a set of several built-in voices, but if these are not enough for the reader, then on the program’s website you can download additional voices for it (including high-quality paid options).
Conclusion
If you are interested in a speaker with a male voice in Russian, then I recommend paying attention to the list of online resources I listed above. At the same time, their disadvantages include the limited functionality of their free functionality, forcing the user to pay close attention to specialized programs (for example, “Govorilka”). The highest quality pronunciation among the listed resources is provided by the voice engine of the IVONA service, and it is precisely the phrases voiced by it that we quite often encounter in the Russian-language segment of the network.
In contact with
Books carry centuries-old wisdom and the history of entire nations, which continues to be reflected on the pages of modern publications. This is a way to pass on accumulated knowledge to generations and instill in children a love of reading and cultural values. Today, more and more people prefer electronic or mp3 formats of literature to printed versions, practically replacing reading material on shelves with versions stored on devices. Of course, nothing can replace the smell of a new book, the rustle of turning pages and that feeling when you pick up your favorite book, the one you read for the first time in childhood or once borrowed from the school library and left to live on your shelf.
But the rhythm of modern life forces us to spend our time with maximum practicality, although reading people, even when they are very busy, do not stop immersing themselves in new worlds, using any existing book formats. It is very convenient to use computers, tablets, smartphones and other devices that have become a part of our everyday life for reading, especially since you can instantly find the literature of interest on the Internet, saving time and money. Now organizing an entire library on your phone is not a problem, and for those who are especially busy, a program for voicing text will help. Simply put, while you are doing other things, a voice from the application reads out loud what you have written. Utilities for reproducing text can also help people with disabilities or attract the interest of children who do not yet read independently, while promoting the development of listening comprehension.
Speech synthesizers for reading text by voice perform dubbing using special engines, on which the quality of reading depends. Voice engines are capable of speaking in male, female or children's voices in different languages, and can be integrated into the program or installed additionally. They are distributed free of charge or on a commercial basis, which directly affects the quality of playback and the variety of voices that the user can choose to suit his taste. The following speech engine standards are used to voice text:
- SAPI 4 – outdated versions, no longer used on modern computers;
- SAPI 5 – used for Windows XP and higher versions. The lion's share of popular engines run on SAPI
The Microsoft Speech Platform is a set of tools for creating programs that support speech technologies. For the engine to function, you need to install Runtime components and Runtime Language packages, which are used for speech recognition or synthesis in various languages. Speech engines are not equipped with an external interface, for this reason, their mere presence in the system is not enough for the computer to speak; you also need special software that will serve as an interface and perform a lot of other functions.
Today there are a great many programs that allow you to reproduce text by voice. They all have a different set of options, can be installed on computers, phones and other devices or work online, many support the Russian language. In order not to download everything, it’s worth taking a look at the ratings of popular products that allow you to reproduce text in a high-quality voice and have already proven themselves among users.
The best programs for voiceover
It is impossible to say objectively which software will be the best, since everything depends on the requirements and the user’s own preferences. Below is a list of worthy software products that are definitely worth paying attention to when choosing.
The Acapela speech synthesizer is one of the most popular in the world; it recognizes and voices texts of various formats in more than 30 languages, including Russian. The program allows you to select the reading speed and voice that the user will like, after listening to it on the developer’s website. Male (Nikolai) and female (Alena) voice engines are available for voicing text in Russian. The second appeared later and is an improved version, but many users prefer the timbre of Nikolai’s voice. Here again, everything is individual.
The product is produced commercially and can be downloaded from the official Acapela resource. Versions are available for common operating systems Windows, Linux, Mac and mobile Android and iOS. Installation is not difficult and does not take much time. There is also a web version, but its functionality is quite limited, the maximum threshold for voice-over is set to 300 characters, but the sound is still performed at a high level.
The program for reading text with a voice, Ivona Reader, will also be an excellent option; it has quite realistic voices with natural sounding and good pronunciation, and it has the ability to convert text into MP3 format for creating audiobooks. Considered one of the best, it allows you to read any text, including news, RSS, web pages, books, electronic documents, etc. The program has a simple and intuitive interface, so mastering its functionality will not be difficult. Iwona Reader can be useful in learning languages, since professional speakers have worked on the quality of pronunciation. Of course, like other software, it can pronounce some rare words with incorrect stress or intonation, which is why sometimes the true nature of the text is not conveyed, but this is rather a common problem for readers who do not have intelligence.
The most popular e-book reader with rich functionality, supporting almost all possible book formats, and, at the user’s request, reproducing text by voice, although it is not a sound converter. Among the program's capabilities are converting books from one format to another, creating MP3/WAV files from a book, displaying data from archives without the additional use of archivers, setting options for comfortable reading, automatic scrolling and adjusting its speed, bookmarks, location memory function, which you closed the book, and many other useful tools. A big advantage of ICE Book Reader Professional is also the creation of a library, convenient navigation through books and authors. The program is freely available, which is good news, and is compatible with all popular versions of Windows.
Another middle-aged, but convenient program for reading books on a computer, which allows you to read texts using speech synthesis, which requires the presence of the Speech API and speech engine on the device. The application recognizes popular file formats TXT, DOC, HTML and others, creating a visual effect of book pages for comfortable reading. At any time, the user can switch from reading to text reading mode with the ability to connect pronunciation dictionaries for more successful reproduction.
It is possible to use bookmarks, search the text, adjust the font, page lighting, sound, reading speed and other effects. The functionality also allows you to organize an electronic library with easy navigation.
The reader is a free multifunctional utility that speaks in a “live” voice, capable of recognizing an incredible number of formats, such as AZW, AZW3, DOC, DOCX, HTML, DjVu, MOBI, EPUB, PDF, PDB and others, which makes it stand out from other “readers” " Regardless of the reasons for using the program, be it laziness, busyness or poor eyesight, Balabolka will be useful to any user who needs voice-over of texts. For voice reading, various engines downloaded to the device can be used, but it is better to use paid options, they will provide better playback quality.
The set of options includes flexible settings for sound and reading speed, so each user can adjust the voice acting to their own requirements. The reproduced text can be generated as audio files in MP3, MP4, WAV, OGG and WMA formats. Balabolka is also good because it can read from the buffer, and also speaks characters entered from the keyboard. A nice bonus is checking the spelling before reading. The utility has a user-friendly interface, supports the Russian language and operates on all versions of Windows OS.
The Govorilka utility, which is also used to speak test data by voice, opens files in various formats (TXT, DOC, HTML, etc.), speaks different languages depending on the connected speech engine. Despite its simplicity, it has decent functionality and can read text from fairly large files up to 2 GB in size. The program also allows you to adjust playback speed, volume and other effects, provides the ability to record text in MP3, WAV format, and remembers the place where reading was completed. The talker is presented in Russian, which makes it easier for Russian-speaking users to master, and works great on Windows 7, 8, 10.
A functional program with a simple interface that uses any SAPI engines available on the computer for speech synthesis. Govorun+ reads texts in TXT and RTF formats, works with the clipboard, minimizes to tray, and is also integrated into the shell and can be launched from the context menu that appears when you right-click on a text file. The scoring results can be saved to an audio file. The program has a built-in media player, reminder, and the interface can be customized by the user. In addition, you won’t get bored with Talker, the application is “seasoned” with jokes, anecdotes, aphorisms and other entertaining phrases.
The program allows you to reproduce fairly voluminous texts, recognizes TXT and RTF file formats, and automatically recognizes the encoding. The results of your work can be saved as MP3, which is very convenient for later listening on any device. The Sakrament Talker application supports all known voice engines; the quality of playback will depend on the one you choose.
Spoken text can also be implemented using web services. Among the worthy options is From-text-to-speech, a Russian service with the poetic name 2yxa, capable of processing large volumes of text, which not every resource can boast of. Of course, all voice acting tools are not yet ideal, and even the best speech technologies today cannot replace human reading, but using modern voice engines, it is possible to bring the quality of reading as close as possible to live playback.
Hello, friends. There are people who have probably encountered such a phenomenon as voiceover of text. This can be done both online and using tools installed on your computer. This technology is called a speech synthesizer. It is very common on the Internet, as well as on smartphones and computers. The advantages of voicing text using a synthesizer allows you to convert text into voice. This way, you will be able to listen to your favorite books that are not in audio format or your favorite articles. Provided that you don’t want to or are just too lazy to read something.
In this article I will try to talk in detail about services that allow you to convert text into voice. Let's look at programs that allow you to do this procedure.
Voice over text online using services
There are a lot of services on the Internet that allow you to voice the wording, but progress has not yet reached worthwhile results. What I mean? Most text-to-speech synthesizers have a lot of disadvantages, which I will now tell you about:
- Robotic or unpleasant voice;
- Small volume of reproduced text;
- Full functionality is available for a fee;
- Many “speakers,” so to speak, are unable to correctly emphasize certain words, or even reproduce some of them incorrectly.
As you can see, there are shortcomings, but some services are worse, some are better. Now I’ll tell you about several worthwhile options, and it’s up to you to decide which one to use.
But the material arrived in time with the help of services and programs. If interested, check it out.
This service has a sound engine that is capable of converting text into voice at a high-quality level. Of course, it is far from perfect, but it can do something. The functionality has two voices – male and female. The second one is able to speak Russian. Unfortunately, you can only play 300 characters for free. They include punctuation marks and other signs that are not related to words, so there will be even fewer real words and voiced services. To use more text you need to pay.
So, go to the resource http://www.acapela-group.com and select the desired language. Next, select a voice and enter it into the large field "Type tour text here" words. To speak, press the button "Listen".
Google Translate
A good old but effective tool for translating text into voice. Yes, it is known, but let's look at its pros and cons.
In Google Translator, you need to enter words on the left in the language you are interested in, for example, Russian, and press the speaker button to voice it. You will hear the semblance of a woman's voice. In principle, the engine does a good job of placing accents and pronunciation. But it also has its own nuances, just listen and see for yourself. Voice acting occurs in many languages, but some are not yet supported.
This service for translating text is also capable of voicing it. Similar to Google, you enter words and click on speaker icon. The voice is almost no different from Google's.
The tool, unlike its counterparts, is not capable of voicing more than 250 characters; full functionality is paid. But the voice acting of the text is quite good. I think it's better than Google or Yandex.
By going to the website http://www.linguatec.de/voice-reader-home-15-demo you select the language in the first section, then the voice type - male or female and enter words in the next field. Below you will see a play button that you need to click on.
IVONA
Voice over text using programs
Now I want to touch on software that can translate a phrase into a voice. There are a lot of them, I will try to name the best ones, and I will list the rest so that you know about them.
2nd Speech Center
With this program you can listen to the text instead of reading it. You copy the necessary words from the document and paste them into a special program window. The program can use the following text file formats - doc, pdf, txt, html, eml, rtf and others.
Unfortunately, the program is in English and is paid. In the trial version you cannot voice Russian phrases. You can try the trial version to voice English or any other language. In short, screw this program, let's move on to the next one.
Talker
But this program has a Russian interface and the ability to record playback text to a file, thus creating your own audiobooks. In the program you can adjust the voice speed, voice pitch and volume. Select the type of voice you are interested in.
Install the program, insert the text and voice it. No restrictions. You can download it from here: http://www.vector-ski.com/vecs/govorilka/download.htm
Audiobook Recorder
This text synthesizer can work with txt and doc format, that is, convert from to audio format. There are several types of voices. Capable of converting a document to mp3 or wav. Speed and volume are naturally adjustable. If the text file is large, the program will handle it without problems.
In general, the program is shareware, but you can download it completely free from this link: http://softarchive.ru/item/23285_Audiobook_Recorder.html?num=1
Sacrament Talker
If you like variety, the program can provide up to six different voices for playing text. It has its own sound engine, which does its job well.
The work is easy. You insert a document with words of any length and listen. Download if you are interested: http://annpalna.spaces.ru/files/?read=36140777&sid=7686129365211717
Voiceover of text is possible using the specified utility. Its interesting feature is that it can speak your name in Japanese. So to speak, a comic program. She herself does not support the Japanese language, but simply says your first and last names in Japanese, selecting the necessary letters. Good for anime lovers.
You can download it from here: http://www.softportal.com/software-6881-tnr-jayjay.html
Balabolka
This synthesizer uses sound engines built into PCs. Works on many text formats - doc, html. Rtf. You can insert text, change the font and its size. There is a spell check function and a lot of interesting things.
Here you can download it: http://www.softportal.com/software-5204-balabolka.html
Govorun+
It can only use the engines in the system, but this is probably a plus, since you can choose any one. The program itself is capable of this:
- Use txt or rtf text format;
- Work with the command line (I don’t know why);
- Integration into the text system. That is, from any application you can voice words using a talker.
- Often shows funny aphorisms, quotes and jokes;
- Converts the document to wav format.
Well, and much more. If you want to use it, here is the download link: http://www.softportal.com/software-886-govorun.html
Foxit Reader
Quite a popular program for reading documents of various formats. Here you will find a huge number of functions for working with documents. There is also a function "Read the document out loud", which is located on the "View" tab.
Voice over text on smartphones
I won't go into too much detail. There are a ton of apps for reading text on Android and iOS, and at least one has a read-aloud feature. I don’t use iOS, but I will list the main Android programs that I have used. They have the function of speaking words out loud.
FBReader
To use the Listening Reading feature. In additional modules you need to load "TTS+". Downloaded from Play Market. After this, the function will appear in the drop-down menu where there are three dots "Read aloud (+)".
Approximately the same functionality can be found in Cool Reader, EBookDroid, Nomad Reader and many others.
I hope you liked this article and will share it on social networks. We looked at 14 methods, which include voicing text with a voice online and voicing text using programs for a PC and phone. If you have your own suggestions, write them in the comments, I will be glad to study them.
Many of us love to read. We read at home and at work, on the road and on vacation, we like various literary styles and trends, and some simply cannot imagine their life without books. Moreover, in addition to the visual display of texts, the user may need to provide voice acting for the latter (for example, when implementing voice content on various sites). Then various online voice engines come to our aid, allowing us to reproduce the text the user needs in different voices. In this material I will tell you what online voice acting is, what online services exist for this, and how to use them.
In most cases, online voice acting is quite standardized, and is aimed more at demonstrating the capabilities of the selected voice engine, rather than at reproducing huge sizes of user texts. The free functionality of most online services is limited to text of 250-300 characters, and for the full capabilities of the voice engine and the reproduction of large volumes of material you will have to pay real money.
The standard template for working with such sites is as follows: you go to the resource, select the desired language in a special window, select a female or male voice, enter the text you need in the window and click on the play button. The service reads your text, you form an impression of the quality of the voice engine, and decide whether to work with it further or not.
Online voice acting services
So, there are several popular services on the Internet that can voice text online. Let's move on to listing them with a corresponding description of their functionality.
Acapela service
The first of the resources aimed at reproducing text by voice online is Acapela. Its engine has a fairly high-quality sound level, there is a choice of female and male voices (Russian is represented only by the female voice of Alyona), while the volume of freely reproduced text is limited to 300 characters, and for more opportunities you will have to pay extra.
To take advantage of the capabilities of this service, go to it, in the window on the left, switch the language (Select a language) to Russian (Russian), enter your text under the phrase “type your text here”, check the box to the left of “I agree with terms and condition”. To start listening, click on the “Listen” button below.
Google Translator service
The specified translator from Google can also be used to read text online. I would consider its advantages to be the absence of the classic limit of several hundred characters and the free nature of the resource. On the downside, voice playback of text may be inferior to paid competitors.
To reproduce the text using this translator, go to https://translate.google.com, enter the required text in the window, and then click on the button with the image of a speaker at the very bottom.
Linguatec Service
Another online talker, but it has the limitations of its “shareware” counterparts. The volume of reproduced text in it is limited to 250 characters (you need to pay extra for full functionality), and the quality of reproduction here is quite average.
To reproduce the text in voice online, go to this resource, in the language settings, instead of Deutsch, select Russisch, select a female (Milena) or male (Yuri) voice, enter your text and click on the play button below.
Text-to-Speech Service
Another online talker is the Text-to-Speech service. The maximum size of reproduced text is higher here - about a thousand characters, and the playback quality is also at an acceptable level.
To listen to the text we need using this voice engine, follow the link, select Russian (Language – Russian), enter the text you want to listen to, and then click on “Say it”.
IVONA service
And the last online service that I want to mention when considering voice-over of typed text online is Ivona. This resource probably has the highest quality voice engine among all of the above, although its capabilities are available only on a paid basis, and the previously existing ability to listen to several sentences of text using this voice engine has now, unfortunately, been removed.
Voice reading programs
Govorilka program
A small software product that can read your text by voice, and it is possible to record the read text into wav and mp3 audio files. The size of the read file is limited to 2 gigabytes, there is adjustment of the voice speed, its volume, highlighting of the read text, and so on.
Download the program (for example, from here), install and run. Enter the text in the window and click on the corresponding play button at the top.
This is what the working window of the Govorilka program looks like: Sacrament Talker Program
Voiceover of text is also possible using the Sacrament Talker program. The program has its own engine, Sakrament TTS Engine 3.0 and six(!) possible Russian voices, works great with large files, and the quality of voice text reproduction is also excellent.
The specifics of working with the program are similar to the previous analogue.
Mobile applications for reading text
Many mobile readers have built-in functionality for voice reading of text, which can be used by the average user. Among such readers, I would note Cool Reader, Nomad Reader, FBReader, EBookDroid and others. Almost all of them have an option for voice text playback, which the user can look for in the settings of these programs.
If for any reason the services presented above do not suit you, please also read the list.
Conclusion
If you are interested in narrating text with your voice online, then it can be implemented using the online services I listed above. Moreover, in most cases, their free functionality is limited to a few hundred characters, and only the functionality of Google Translator is designed for large amounts of text. However, you can take advantage of the capabilities of ordinary programs (in particular, the above-mentioned “Govorilka” and “Sacrament Talker”), which will help you reproduce the text you need without any problems.
In contact with
Technology is moving forward. A couple of centuries ago, books were a scarce commodity. With the development of printing production, books reached the masses. Psychologists have determined that people perceive the same information differently. And while it’s easy for visual learners to find a printed publication, it’s more difficult for auditory learners. To enable people with an auditory type of perception to absorb information in a form convenient for them, audiobooks were invented. Nowadays, finding audio variations of a popular literary work is not a problem. But what to do when you need to voice a personally recorded text? We should not forget about people with limited abilities (visually disabled). Programs specializing in voice acting were invented specifically for such purposes. Below we will look at the main types of such programs.
Principle of operation
Voice acting programs have similar operating algorithms. The user is required enter document in a special window or select part of the document for reproduction. One utility is not enough. Any program specializing in voice acting uses a voice engine. It functions as a speech synthesizer. There are a huge number of voice engines on the Internet. Some of them are installed on the computer along with the operating system.
The software allows you to choose your voice and reading speed, which is a definite advantage for people with a visual type of information perception. Among the shortcomings highlight the imperfections of machine translation: incorrect accents and the unreadability of some words, especially slang ones.
Online voice-over services
Acapela
Acapela is a foreign service that can voice text in 35 languages and dialects. It is noteworthy that the portal voices foreign words with a characteristic accent (for example, Russian words are read by an Englishman). The site contains a demo version of the product with a limited size of up to 300 characters. Another disadvantage is the requirement to agree to the terms of the site every time. For Russian localization, one option for voicing the text is offered - the Alyona voice engine. 
Linguatec
The Linguatec service offers a demo version of the product. There are also up to 40 options for voiceover text. Compared to the previous site on Linguatec two voices represented: female “Milena” and male “Yuri”. The character limit in the demo version is 250 characters. 
Text-to-Speech
Text-to-Speech is another portal that can read text online. It has more advanced settings: speaker speech speed, font size, machine translation. An on-screen keyboard is provided for people with disabilities. Unfortunately, for the Russian-speaking user only one female voice.
Google Translator
Google Translator is a proprietary translator from Google Corporation. One of the functions of the service is to voice a translated or original sentence. If you have a microphone, you can type words by voice. If you want to save the translation result and its audio to “favorites,” then log in to Gmail. The Google Translator service translates and voices texts within 5000 characters. The only downside is the voice engine, which sounds more like a robot's speech. 
IVONA
The IVONA website is a presentation page demonstrating voice engines. This service is a Polish development and offers four voice options. All languages have 2-3 voices. In the Russian segment there are two voice engines “Maxim” and “Tatyana”. Unfortunately, there is no opportunity to try the service for free. The only thing a user can do without purchasing a subscription is to listen to a template greeting from voice engines. 
Yandex translate
Yandex translator is a domestic analogue of Google translator. It has similar tools at its disposal: translation, voice-over, voice generator, on-screen keyboard and saving to favorites. The only thing that distinguishes Yandex translator from its foreign counterpart is the maximum number of characters, reaching 10,000 characters. 
Oddcast
The Oddcast portal is the most interesting online speech synthesizer for dubbing from an interface point of view. Here, in addition to the dry sound there are animated speakers. In addition, virtual speakers follow the mouse pointer. Additionally, speech effects are regulated on the site. There is an option to partially change the sound. The Russian language in Oddcast is represented by three engines: “Dmitry”, “Milina” and “Olga”. The disadvantages include a limitation on the maximum number of characters of 300 characters and not the most convenient interface for input. 
ISpeech
The ISpeech website has a minimalist interface that even a novice user can understand. All you need to do is enter a couple of sentences and select a language. Additionally, the speed of text reading by voice and the choice of voice engine are adjusted. If desired, the voiced result can be saved on a PC. The maximum number of characters is 150. 
2 ears
2ukha is an interesting domestic site, where, in addition to a narrowly focused forum, there is a section on converting a document into an audio file, which is recorded in mp3 or awb format. In the settings, before processing the request, additional parameters are configured: reading speed, voice pitch, volume, type of voice engine and reading punctuation marks. The conversion result is sent by email in a few minutes. We recommend go through authorization through social networks, so as not to have to enter a code before sending a request (robot check). The disadvantage of the portal is the inability to instantly read out the text online. 
Programs for reproducing text by voice
Talker
Govorilka is a program for voicing text in Russian for those who like to listen, unfortunately it is not available online. Supports downloading additional speech engines and language library directly from the official website. Has useful features:
Sacrament Talker
What makes Sacrament Talker unique is that it runs on own sound system speech TTS Engine 3.0, where six Russian voices are available. Like other programs, it processes text from the browser, office applications, and also saves voice acting in MP3 format.
