Goldendict and simulated voice
Posted: Sat Dec 20, 2014 5:26 pmI have used Lingoes for a while, but find it lacking. It lacks comprehensive dictionaries for Spanish/English ( not enough words and limited available converted dicts). However it does have text to speech, which is great since actual comprehensive audio language sound files are hard to come by.
What I find as a great alternative to the features that Lingoes has for Offline use, is Goldendict (and sound files) in combination with Balabolka Text to speech.
Once i have the correct SAPI5 voice to speech engine installed: When I copy the word or text to the clipboard, I get great simulated pronounciations from Balbolka, great translation (with lots of words) using Granada Spanish/Eng dictionary plus (if exists) access to the actual Spanish sound files I have installed in Goldendict.
