New plugin adds text to speech to Caliber

Caliber plugin

Caliber is the best free tool for managing ebooks or e-books that exist now on the market. At a time when it is about to receive improvements to make it a better ebook reader, we have another great news.

A new plugin was released on Sunday that allows Caliber will read your books to you while you are driving or when you are relaxed for a while on the sofa in your living room. A feature that opens up a good repertoire of moments with this ebook manager.

And it is that not only does it add the functionality of TTS, but apart from it connect Caliber to your system's TTS features. Although by default the Windows voice sounds a bit bad, it also allows that if you have a voice with a better tone and intonation installed or a different TTS tool you could access a better experience.

The plugin is available from Mobile Read and it can be installed from the menu «Change caliber behavior» or «change caliber behavior». Comment that, the developer has stated that the plugin is in a slightly alpha state. There is no speed control or other way to switch between the voices, but the reality is that it has just been launched and adds a feature that cannot be found in other Windows reading apps such as Kindle4PC or Kobo Reader.

A plugin that, if you have a voice more in the style of what can be found in Apple's Siri or Google's Google Now, offers a better experience at the end of the day. So if you have a decent voice, do not take long to try it and see the experience it offers to be able to sit on the sofa while reading any of your favorite books.

Here you have another curious plugin for Caliber.
