If you’re tired of reading or don’t have time to sit still right now, but don’t want to throw away all of those books in your Kindle graveyard, convert them into audiobooks! This article will provide you with both free and paid suggestions for converting audio content from what you’ve already paid for.
To convert any Ebook into an audiobook for free, you must first ensure that you have the appropriate software to interpret the text. Most technological devices have the ability to read text built-in, but they require additional support to read the text aloud. TTS comes into play in this situation.
TTS is an abbreviation for text-to-speech, which is a speech synthesis application that converts text on a device into spoken content using a computer-generated simulation of human speech. It is used in computers to allow users to interact with them.
So, How Do I Convert Text To Speech?
How To Turn Any Kindle Ebook Into An Audiobook From Your Phone
From iPhone:
- Open your Kindle App and select your book.
- Ask Siri to enable VoiceOver.
- To manually configure VoiceOver, follow these steps: VoiceOver can be accessed via Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver.
From Android:
- Download a TTS app in the Google Play Store (can use the examples in this article or whichever you prefer)
How To Convert An Ebook To Audio On Your Computer
For Macbooks:
TTS is built into Mac computers.
Select the text, then right-click and choose “more,” then “speaking.”
For Microsoft Windows:
Because Windows computers do not have built-in TTS, you will need to download software before you begin.
