The program converts text to speech. All computer voices installed on your system are available to Balabolka. The on-screen text can be saved as a WAV or MP3 file. The program can read the clipboard content, view the text from DOC, RTF, PDF, FB2 and HTML files, customize font and background colour, control reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys. Balabolka uses various versions of Microsoft Speech API (SAPI); it allows to alter a voice's parameters, including rate and pitch. The user can apply a special substitution list to improve the quality of the voice's articulation. This feature is useful when you want to change the spelling of words. The rules for the pronunciation correction use the syntax of VBScript.

Hi,

I need help. How do I change the pronunciation of the word In
Balabolka?

I have an American English voice engine.

I changed the pronunciation of the word "practised" in the
Pronunciator Corrector in Balabolka to sound like "practist". But
the word, in the Text Window, is read out unchanged. e.g. practised
is read out in the American way as "pract taist", like baptist. and
not the British way.

But in the Pronunciation Corrector it was pornounced the British way
when typed as "practist"

Please advise.
