Text to Speech (TTS) software for Scripts WAV or MP3 ouput
audio, text-to-speech, windows-7
Solution
If having the program access internet is acceptable, then you could use iSpeech.
You can use their API, but unfortunately it is limited to 200 uses/day.
Their API also allows appending `format=(wav|mp3)` following a query, allowing you to get your sound in both desired formats.
Problem
I asked this question on SuperUser, but it's fallen on deaf ears. Hopefully I can get more of an audience here. I'm looking for a low cost (or Free) solution like ScriptVox only with a better engine. That is, to read in a script and assign characters to voice. I've read the post here but even with those I'd have to concatenate wav files. It's not that I don't love Audacity, but it is time consuming. I am halfway thinking of writing my own, but I'm sure there has to be a solution out there. Any suggestions?
