Transforming digital books into some kind of audio books
Many say that nothing compares to reading a real book. I would say that the experience is somewhat similar on an ebook reader, except maybe for the smell and rustle of paper. I think that's what the scholars said when the printing presses appeared. No matter what, the book, but not just any book, makes you a little more "stupid," and that's good, I say.
Now, in these turbulent times, we are dealing with something else; The man has no time for anything and if he wants to read a book, he has to do it in the dead time between work, school, home, etc. Here comes the "book" in audio format, or audio book, which helps you put in your head hands free and eyes free, a lot of information.
The problem is that we do not have too many audio books in Romanian.
How things work with us, things are always moving more slowly, and that's also because there is not too much demand in the audio format.
The solution comes from the software that reads our eBook book.
I found an Android software called Voice that works very well. Using the TTS engine on your phone (Google or another), we read our audio books in any format. Now you realize that it's not like reading your grandmother's sleep story easily, but it works. The voice is kind of robotic at times, but it goes without saying.
If you want a better voice, we have Joan.
Vocalizer is an application that comes with its own voice and TTS engine, and the face of Google TTS is a bit more "male". Finally, after using both TTS engines, and Google but also Vocalizer, you realize that the difference is not so big, and if you want to save (as Ioana asks for money after 7 days), you can stay with Google TTS, on which you can find on any Android phone anyway.
I also found a free book application.
Digital Library is a Vodafone app (not an ad), where you can download a lot of free books. Books are organized under categories and are quite multicultural.
And more free eBook books…

About Cristian Cismaru
Thanks for the tutorial. Information is really useful.
Very useful.
FFFF GOOD APP
Hi Cristi, correct the text in the description, because the voice is called "Ioana", not "Ivona".
Ivona can no longer be installed (at least in Android 8 on a Nokia 5 does not go installed).
Ioana works on Android 8.
OK thanks.
Hello!
She does not read in Romanian.
I do not even find it in seter.
I have a Samsung J7.
What should I do?
Thank you!
Dear Mr. Cristian Cismaru,
Good morning,
I have original DVD games for PC, bought from the store.
I want to play these pc games and on my tablet.
The tablet is android 7.1. and I have SD card 128 GB on it.
- What programs do I install for PC games to work on the tablet?
- Do I copy the game to a USB stick that I connect to the tablet? or do I copy the game to the computer and from there transfer it to the tablet's sd card?
I'm waiting for answer on videotutorial.ro and thanks for your help.
You can not play PC games on Android. There are two completely different operating systems! At least you can not play them using that CD. It is possible, however, for some smaller games to use various Android emulators that allow you to play PC games on Android but repeat, you can not play any game but just older games, not the latest ones.
thanks, very useful to me
If you wish, you can do so as long as Ioana does not ask for any more money 🙂
If anyone is interested write a reply to the comment!
Do you understand that you're the fish?
Is there also software for win 7 / 10 to do this?
Hello, Cristi
