<p>I have always disliked public speaking, and I'm sure I'm not alone in
this.</p>
<p>Although I have recorded HPR episodes in the past I have always been
highly dissatisfied with the results - my delivery and the sound of my
voice.</p>
<p>Text-to-Speech software has improved dramatically in recent years and
this provides a solution to my natural reticence to recording shows.</p>
<p>In this episode I demonstrate the use of a simple online TTS
application in the hope that it will encourage others to contribute a
show who might otherwise not do so.</p>
<p>Here is a link to the <a
href="https://freetools.textmagic.com/text-to-speech">TextMagic</a>
website where you can run their TTS software. It is cost-free to use,
but I'm not sure if it is FLOSS.</p>
