Kindle For Mac Text To Speech Plugin
Last year Amazon added text-to-speech support to their Kindle for PC application for Windows computers.
Kindle for PC is free to download and use, so if you have a Windows computer and need a text-to-speech program you don’t have to buy a separate device to read Kindle books aloud.
Not all Kindle books support TTS but a lot of them do.
- Not if you use an e-Reader software like Kindle or Nook, you can’t. There is a way to get your Mac to read Kindle books to you, out loud, with its built-in text to speech software, but it’s.
- English Noun Frequency. Determine 'English Noun Frequencies' for words in a particular book's text, and optionally: 1) Add frequences for the chosen number of frequent nouns to the book's Comments; 2) Create new Tags using the chosen number of frequent nouns for Tags; 3) Update a Custom Column with the chosen number of frequent nouns for a Custom Column.
I just found this nice plugin and i’m a little bit in love with it. Thanks a lot for developing this! The only strange problem i’ve got: when typing some text in the textfield every character comes 3 times. Like “eeexxxeeecccuuuttteee”. Deleting characters also makes a 3 character “jump”. My keyboard is allright. 😉 mac os x 10.6.
It says on the product page if an ebook supports TTS or not under the “Product details” section.
Kindle for PC’s text-to-speech feature also works with non-Amazon content. I tested a few MOBI and PRC files and TTS worked fine.
PDFs can be imported into Kindle for PC as well and text-to-speech works with them too.
One annoying thing about Kindle for PC is the fact that it doesn’t support personal documents that you’ve added to your Amazon account, but it will open supported files from your computer.
