The Microsoft Speech Platform allows developers to build and deploy Text-to-Speech applications. The Microsoft Speech Platform consists of a Runtime, and Runtime Languages (engines for speech recognition and text-to-speech). There are separate Runtime Languages for speech recognition and speech synthesis. The version of the Runtime Languages must match the version of the Speech Platform that you installed.
Use the following steps to install the Microsoft Speech Platform (version 11.0):
- Download and install the Speech Platform Runtime
(the file 'x86_SpeechPlatformRuntimeSpeechPlatformRuntime.msi'). - Download and install Runtime Languages for use with the Speech Platform
(file names starting with 'MSSpeech_TTS_').
The Microsoft Speech Platform provides support for 26 languages for speech synthesis. XML tags can be used both for SAPI 5 and the Speech Platform.
Balabolka can use Hunspell (hunspell.github.io). Hunspell is the default spell checker of OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice and Mozilla Firefox.

The software application provides a Clipboard monitoring tool, batch file converter, text extractor from files, file comparison function, subtitle converter, Google translator, and magnifier. You can enable a spellchecker and view a list with spelling errors, repeat words, sentenced or entire paragraphs throughout the text, and create bookmarks.
Continuing the list of available options, it is possible to resort to a search function, edit ID3 tags, split and convert tracks to other audio formats (e.g. WAV, MP3, OGG, WMA), undo actions, replace numbers with words, find homographs, or insert audio clips.

Taking into account its generous set of features and configuration parameters, Balabolka should meet the requirements of most users looking for a reliable and multi-talented text-to-speech software application.
