Portable Balabolka converts written text into speech using voices installed in Windows. It reads text from its window, the clipboard, and DOC, RTF, or HTML files, and can save spoken output as WAV or MP3. Users can adjust voice rate, pitch, and volume, customize text appearance, and control reading with hotkeys or from the system tray. Pronunciation substitutions help correct how selected words are spoken.

Portable Balabolka is a text-to-speech utility for people who want to listen to written material instead of reading it on screen. It uses the computer voices installed in Windows, making it useful for reviewing documents, following text while doing other tasks, or creating spoken copies of written content. The portable edition provides the same core reading and audio-export functions in a version intended for portable use.

The program can read text entered or displayed in its window, content copied to the clipboard, and documents in DOC, RTF, and HTML formats. Users can adjust the voice's rate, pitch, and volume through supported Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) voices. These controls help adapt speech to different kinds of material: a slower rate can make dense text easier to follow, while changes to pitch and volume can suit personal listening preferences. Text-to-speech output can also be saved as WAV or MP3 audio for playback outside the program.

For pronunciation adjustments, Balabolka supports a substitution list that replaces selected spellings when the text is spoken. This can correct how a voice reads particular words or abbreviations without changing the source document. Substitution rules use VBScript syntax, giving users a configurable way to handle recurring pronunciation issues. Font and background colour settings change the appearance of on-screen text, and system-tray controls and global hotkeys provide ways to start or manage reading without returning to the main window.

Typical uses include listening to work documents, checking how written passages sound aloud, and producing audio files from text for later playback. Clipboard reading is handy for short passages copied from other applications, while opening DOC, RTF, or HTML files supports longer material. The program depends on compatible voices installed in Windows; the available voice choices therefore vary with the system's speech components. Portable Balabolka is shareware and supports Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10, and Windows 11, including 32-bit and 64-bit editions where listed.
