I have some french text, would like convert them to MP3 files to listen. Any text-to-speech software to recommend? I hope it's free and for Windows. Note: not necessarily to MP3, as long as it could convert to audio files, e.g. .wav, it's ok.

1(1) Natural reader – free trial, various voices, limited to ½ hour for free version. Unlimited for paid version. (2) Dragon. Note, both have lots of voices in various languages including French. (3) Foxit is a free pdf reader and can do also text-to-speech (in the View menu). However, you will need to find a French voice. RealSpeak Sophie (French) used to be free, but now I can’t find it. You might also want to consider a browser plugin. – aparente001 May 13 '17 at 5:42

@aparente001 seems none is free on converting to mp3? e.g. natural reader trial version could read, but to convert to mp3 need upgrade... – athos May 21 '17 at 9:36

You might be able to record to Audacity (free) through some sort of streaming. – aparente001 May 21 '17 at 20:36

I am the author of Intelligent Speaker - extension for browser, we use the best available speech engine - Polly from Amazon.
You can get your podcast feed and grab m4a files (better than mp3 - better quality for smaller filesize).
