Converting text to speech

VozMe is a Google utility that allows converting written texts in English, among other languages, to mp3 sound. Users select between feminine or masculine voice and files can be saved. Although the pace and intonation may sound a bit 'robotic', the pronunciation and stress are good enough.

  2. Hi, Agriani,
    I'm not sure if you mean that you need more guidelines to use VozMe. If so, I can only add that I think this is an interesting tool for learners of English, when we are not sure of the pronunciation or stress of the words in a sentence or longer text.
    It is really simple to use: you write or paste the text you want to listen to, choose between female or male voice and click on the button to create an mp3 file.
    Please, let me know if you think I can help you further regarding this issue.
