The above post did not allow me to enter the source code. So I add it here.

Balabolka is able to save any text as a WAV file - very cool. Í have in vain searched on Linux for anything comparable.

In addtion to the Balabolka main program we install the Microsoft Speech Runtime and the Speaker(s) for the language(s) of your choice.

You can select installation files either locally on your computer or else automatically download all set-up files from the web.

In order to improve readability I have grouped some part of the code in functions.

Have Fun!

Hi Dadu042 - I see, I have left some dependency in the code which needs to be removed: The Linux desktop path needs to be identified by `xdg-user-dir DESKTOP`, as else the Shortcut will not be created.
Also you have removed my kyrillic letters for the Russian language module and the Japanese ;-) and replaced it with "????????" instead.
