Aldo's Text-to-WAVE

While re-reading something can be quite helpful to spot areas that simply don’t work from a stylistic point of view, reading it aloud is even more effective. Aldo's Text-to-WAVE is a small program that can be used to convert text and web pages to audio files.
The app has a simple interface and a clean layout, which makes it easy to handle by all users.
In order to create such a file, you must simply enter the text or select a file from the computer. The program supports both text files and HTML pages.
Furthermore, the app lets you choose the voice that you want to listen to from those installed on the computer. Also, the speech speed can be adjusted as well. The default number of words per minutes is 150, but the available values vary from 100 to 200.
The app also lets you choose the text font, as well as the output file format. There are several file types supported, such as WAV, MP3 and OGG.
The tracks can be listened to straight from the program’s interface or you can save the items to the disk.
All in all, Aldo's Text-to-WAVE is a nice tool that can be quite useful to have around. Less experienced users should find it easy to handle, thanks to the intuitive layout and its overall simplicity.
