Deploy Balabolka to Microsoft Intune
Ilya MorozovWindowsversion 2.15.0.921, 10 October 2026
Balabolka is in the PatchBee catalog as a Windows app from Ilya Morozov, synced from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). Pick it in the App Library and PatchBee writes the deployment plan below, builds the package, publishes it to your Intune tenant and assigns it to the Entra groups you choose. New versions then follow through your update rings.
The plan PatchBee writes
Balabolka as an Intune app
The standard form for a Zip archive (x86 (32-bit), scope decided at plan time). The real plan is generated from the installer when you package, and shown in full before anything is published; every field can be changed.
- Intune app type
- Windows app (Win32), .intunewin (wrapped)
- Install
- Wrapped: extracted into Program Files, a Start menu shortcut created, by PatchBee's silent-install wrapper.
- Uninstall
- The wrapper removes the install folder and the shortcut.
- Detection
- File: the main executable. The main executable in the install folder, version 2.15.0.921 or newer.
- Requirements
- x86 (32-bit)
Installers in version 2.15.0.921
| Architecture | Type | Scope | Hash |
|---|---|---|---|
| x86 (32-bit) | Zip archive | scope decided at plan time | SHA-256 published |
| x86 (32-bit) | Zip archive | scope decided at plan time | SHA-256 published |
PatchBee downloads the installer from the publisher's own URL and verifies its SHA-256 against the catalog before packaging. "None published" means the source carries no hash for this download, so that check has nothing to compare against; packaging still works.
Silent install switches
Recorded for Balabolka in its winget manifest. PatchBee uses them as the installer's unattended switches, so the package installs without a click.

About Balabolka
Balabolka is a Text-To-Speech (TTS) program. All computer voices installed on your system are available to Balabolka. The on-screen text can be saved as an audio file. The program can read the clipboard content, extract text from documents, customize font and background colour, control reading from the system tray or by the global hotkeys. Balabolka supports text file formats: AZW, AZW3, CHM, DjVu, DOC, DOCX, EML, EPUB, FB2, FB3, HTML, LIT, MD, MOBI, ODP, ODS, ODT, PDB, PRC, PDF, PPT, PPTX, RTF, TCR, WPD, XLS, XLSX.
The program uses various versions of Microsoft Speech API (SAPI); it allows to alter a voice's parameters, including rate and pitch. The user can apply a special substitution list to improve the quality of the voice's articulation. This feature is useful when you want to change the spelling of words. The rules for the pronunciation correction use the syntax of regular expressions.
Balabolka can save the synchronized text in external LRC files or in MP3 tags inside the audio files. When an audio file is played with players on a computer or on modern digital audio players, the text is displayed synchronously (at the same way, as lyrics for songs).

How this becomes an app in your tenant
Sign in with your Microsoft work account and connect your Intune tenant once. Find Balabolka in the App Library, open its plan (the commands, detection rule and requirements above, editable) and publish: PatchBee downloads and verifies the installer, builds the package, creates the Intune app and assigns your groups. When Ilya Morozov ships a new version, PatchBee detects it and rolls it out through your rings, with supersedence and rollback.

Catalog data as of 11 October 2026, from the Windows Package Manager community repository (winget). The product re-reads the source every night and plans against the live catalog, so the version here may already be one behind. Nothing is published to a tenant without an administrator approving the plan.
