$ wine ~/Downloads/Arch/ivona2_installer_pak_ir.exe $ wine ~/Downloads/Arch/ivona2_installer_pak_brian.exe $ wine ~/Downloads/Arch/expressivo_pl_jacek.exe Next install my old ivona software with voices, and the license keys to activate them. Set up Libraries & Audio settings as shown below. $ winecfg // Set up Windows XP (maybe it would be better to set it before the Hans voice installation). $ wine ~/Downloads/Hansue1h.exe // install ivona Hans voice. Recommend compact install when prompted by installer for components to install $ wine ~/Downloads/ta4064.exe // install ta4 (TextAloud app) version 4.064. $ winetricks dotnet40 // required for our installers to work.

You can run Virtual Box (or similar software) under many Operating Systems, simulating other systems. So, I've used my old Ivona license within Virtual Box # Windows XP under Ubuntu (Xubuntu and POP!_OS). And it's not only about customized advertisements profile. It can get risky when every word you listened would be collected by the company focused on the income. Long term costs - not under my control.Now, instead of paying for the offline license (where software could work offline), Amazon offers pay per word. Yet, Amazon bought Ivona and "killed it". Since 2010, I've listened to thousands of books, mostly using "Ivona Text to Speech". Offline voices with the SAPI5 (22kHz) quality standard or better - are not that common (for Linux).īelow, you will get the info how you can use high-quality voices (like TextAloud) in Linux. I love audiobooks, and hate that there is a limited choice of the TTS (Text-To-Speech) apps for Linux.
