Supported formats for input files: AZW, AZW3, CHM, DjVu, DOC, DOCX, EML, EPUB, FB2, FB3, HTML, LIT, MD, MHT, MOBI, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDB, PDF, PPT, PPTX, PRC, RTF, TCR, TXT, WPD, WRI, XLS, XLSX. The IFilter interface will be used for files with unknown extensions.

With assistance of e.g. FFplay can be used as real-time narrator/reader in your language with nice voice of your choice.The command line application allows to use online text-to-speech services: text files or subtitles can be converted to audio files. The utility can be used for testing purposes: it will help you to choose a cloud computing service that satisfies your needs. The separate application for Yandex SpeechKit is available for downloading, because Yandex is the Russian IT company with close government ties.
