Link Of The Week- Hear Your Book

TalkingToTheHandHave you ever wondered what your story sounds like spoken aloud? Would you like to hear how the flow of your varied sentence structures fit together? Have you repeated words?

All these questions can be answered with this week’s Link Of The Week. It is a text to speech software that uses natural sounding voices and it’s free! (There’s also a paid version but the free one is quite good.) There are a number of uses for this program, check them out.

By the way…..did I mention it was free?!?

    Interesting. My books are produced as audiobooks by Sci-Fi Publishing in the US. Hearing the actor’s voice narrate the story gives goose bumps 🙂

    Not bad. He sounds a bit like a sports reporter, and focuses on ‘s and ‘d a bit. Tweeted and shared on FB.
