13. A machine readable storage having stored thereon a computer program having a plurality of code sections comprising: code for automatically identifying based, at least in part, on a content of the text source, at least one first spoken passage as being spoken by a first character of a story, at least one second passage as being spoken by a second character of the story, and at least one non-spoken passage within the text source from which speech is to be synthesized to create the audio recording; code for automatically assigning a first voice configuration for the first character to the at least one first spoken passage, a second voice configuration for the second character to the at least one second spoken passage, and a third voice configuration to the at least one non-spoken passage; code for automatically identifying at least one third spoken passage having a measure of certainty regarding an identity of the character speaking the at least one third spoken passage being less than a threshold value; code for automatically assigning to the at least one third spoken passage, a voice configuration for a character assigned to a spoken passage preceding the at least one third spoken passage; and code for creating the audio recording by converting the text source to speech by selectively applying the first voice configuration to the at least one first spoken passage, applying the second voice configuration to the at least one second spoken passage, and applying the third voice configuration to the at least one non-spoken passage.
18. The machine readable storage of claim 13 , further comprising: code for determining a confidence value for at least one of the plurality of first spoken passages that the at least one of the plurality of first spoken passages is associated with the first character in the story; and code for visually indicating the confidence value on a display.
