Three Solutions for You to Turn eBooks to Audio
As you see, it’s very easy to download all kinds of eBooks to read. And people nowadays prefer to read eBooks rather than paper books. But you think that’s the most convenient way to read books? No, the most convenient way is to listen to the books.
We can’t do other things while reading books. Yes, drink a cup of coffee is possible, but typing, cooking, running, cleaning or working out in the gym? We can’t read a book while doing all those. But we can listen to the books while doing other things. It’s very easy to convert eBooks to audio for playing. Here are three ways for you.
Method one: Zamzar.
Zamzar is a free online converter that can help you convert eBooks to audio formats. I bet most of you have heard about this tool, after all, it’s pretty famous as freeware. It can convert video, audio and ebooks online, all you need to do is to access in the website and fill in your email, check your mailbox and hit “Convert” in the email sent by Zamzar, go back to the website and get the converted audio files.
Don’t think it’s complicated to operate the tool, you’ll find out it’s every easy after doing once by yourself. And you should know Zamzar only stores files for only 24 hours, so you need to save the files in your computer in time, of course, you can pay to the website to extend the time.
Method two: TextAloud.
Compared to the first method, TextAloud is so different. It’s not free and needs to download, but it has to have more features than the free tools, or why people pay for it, right? You can choose between a variety of different voices with TextAloud, and that’s the special feature of TextAloud that free tools don’t have. If you want to use your eBooks to learn a foreign language, you'll be pleased to hear that TextAloud also reads Spanish, French and German.
Method three: Adobe Reader + MP3 My MP3.
Here we don’t convert eBooks to MP3 directly, so how this method works? To be simple, let Adobe Reader reads the books and let MP3 My MP3 records the reading. Go to View > Read Out > "Activate Read Out Loud" in Adobe Reader and click Record in MP3 by MP3. After finishing the recording, you can get the MP3 files. Even we need to download two kinds of software, but they are both free and easy to operate.
You can choose any of them depends on your demands, personally, I suggest the online free converter which is Zamzar.
