Hello everyone!
Does anybody know a free program that creates a audio file from your text and sounds as naturally as possible?
I would really appreciate some help, thank you!

    All the ones I've heard are always too robotic. Reading yourself or hiring a person to do it for you is probably your best choice.

      I would read myself but my English isn't good enough, i don't think people like wrong pronounced words.
      Well hiring someone would be the only option then i guess.

        Hi,

        You might want to try "Free Natural Readers" which is very good for general purposes. They also have an upgrade (Paid) but you do not need it unless you are doing a lot of this type thing and need many different voices. You can get it here:

        Free text to speech software with Naturally Sounding Voices -- Free NaturalReader

        I hope this helps

        Doesn't matter so much what software you use, they all have few basic voices that sound way to robotic. If you need a good voice-over, you need to buy extra voices, that sound more natural. If you can afford it, I would recommend Neospeech voices. I tried many different voices, and so far I find Paul's voice from Neospeech is as close to natural as possible. It's a little bit expensive, but in the end you'll save a lot of money by not having to order voice-overs from Fiverr or other sites. Of course, that's in case if you're planning to make more than one or two video. Otherwise, just have someone to make a voice-over for you.

    I suggest you to pick a person to do this work for you. If you want good and attractive audio, look for the people good at audio work.

    Thank You all for your answers! I will try to do them myself since i can't afford to pay someone to do it for me at the moment. :/

    Here's what I do:
    Find a free online text to speech website. Get an aux cord and run it from your headphone out to your audio in jack on your computer. Open an audio editing software and click record. You can also find software to record your computer's sound without doing the aux cord method.
