Balabolka is a Russian word, meaning "chatterer". Now, it's also a free text-to-speech program for Windows with both installable and portable USB versions. Due to its design, the program may be more ideal for low-vision users who need text read to them from time to time. Text on the clipboard or in a document can be saved to a WAV, MP3, or OGG file, for example, for later reading. It uses your installed SAPI engines such as Microsoft Mike or the Neospeech voices. Several languages are available, and development is ongoing. Via The Assistive Technology Blog
