Anyone have a good quality text-to-speech app that is easy to use in a browser? MacOSX has a free one built-in, but the voice quality is low. And abrasive. I was hoping for a FireFox add-in that might be free or inexpensive. Can't find anything. What would be better would be a custom podcast of the articles I save to Instapaper each day. I know I am dreaming. And pricing is unreal! ElevenLabs sounds great, but I can't find an app for it, only web interface.#TextToSpeech #Speech #reading

Das Licht war nicht besonders gut für Dia, aber die lila Farbtöne der ein bisschen überbelichteten Provia sehen nicht so schlimm aus (meiner Meinung nach).
