   "Balabolka is a feature-rich program to read text aloud from a variety of file   
   types including DOC, RTF, PDF, ODT, FB2 and HTML. The program uses built-in   
   Windows speech tools, but lets you fine tune voices, including rate and pitch,   
   and a substitution    
   list can also be applied to improve the quality of the voice's articulation.   
   The program supports customized font and background color, skins, control   
   reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys.   
      
   The program can save to a variety of audio formats and quality levels, and can   
   include synchronized text to external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the   
   audio files. When the audio file is played with players on a computer or on   
   modern digital audio    
   players, the text will be displayed synchronously (in the same way as lyrics   
   for songs).   
      
   The program includes batch conversion tools from of a wide variety of document   
   formats to audio or plain text and a file compare tool, file splitter and   
   screen magnification window.  Command-line functions also supported."
