Sapo3 is a suite of scripts-tools that can help the user convert a text file to an audio file.
-
It uses the tts-edge API for text-to-speech conversion.
-
Big txt files can be easily converted to audio books, using a wide range of customization capabilities.
When the user runs Sapo3, they will be presented with a menu of options:

o option: Fix name pronunciation with Fix Names

-
c option: Split text to chapters with Chapterize -
v option: Convert File to audio -
f option: Check every sentence outcome with Fix Audio option.

-
m option: Merging Audio Files -
p option: Configuring Preferences



I’m somewhat surprised that there aren’t a lot of good alternatives but uh, yeah, there doesn’t seem to be.
I would have expected there to be at least one or two good TTS engines but I guess that assumption is quite wrong.
As to your other post, it’s less that I care in any specific sense that Microsoft knows what I’m reading and more of a (admittedly irrational) dislike of providing anything that an ad company could maybe later use to sell me shit.
