..., if text-to-speech programs that sounded halfway comprehensible didn't cost an arm and a leg, I'd probably just go with one of those. There are free online text-to-speech converters , some realistic, some a bit "Stephen Hawking" ... ''Nothing against,,,''.wav :) Microsoft Windows does...

I'm hoping to get some advice on what features/processes in Audacity might be best for trying to gain some improve...
