Audiobooks

I am a huge fan of audiobooks since they make my daily routine much more interesting filling it with fiction. Recently I wanted to listen to something useful. Not so long ago I downloaded a Java book. Obviously I want to listen to it because it's big and boring. --- Here come the problems: 1. How should I convert text to audio? Mb some programs, databases? I know only google translate:) 2. Google dont precisely voice the symbols. That's crucial for coding. I'm longing for your suggestions and opinions.

Convert text to audio in android is possible through android API, so you can implement it ( relatively ) easily ;) Probably iOS provide also such API... however, text to speech libraries for other devices ( mainly computers ) are more hardiest to find ( at least in my natural language: maybe english is more common for that kind of purpose :P )

Probably it's a decent idea for an Android app. Book (text) converting to shitty, but still, audiobook.
