Digirunt 0 Posted July 20, 2003 http://www.cfs-technologies.com/home/?id=1.4 Sometimes someone in their infinite wisdom decides "I know I'll use my talent to instead of make a fast buck like everyone else make something everyone can use and benefit from for free". Very much like the guy who wrote Irfanview [Havn't got it yet? Go get it!] Well this time it's speakonia. Probably the best Text to speech software I've used. But I'm not blind? No, but I am lazy. Now I don't even need to read through pages of small text like license agreements, instead I just sit back and listen courtsey of Microsofts many voices. No more squinting at page content in arial size 0.00001pt on my 19" screen at 1280x1024. Simlpy Ctrl+C over your text and away he goes. And he even shouts the capital bit and emphasises the bits ending in ! It's not perfect but because it uses the microsoft engine as their voices improve so does it. My dad who suffers from reading difficulties uses it all the time and I promised the author that I would tell all about this great software. It may not be for everyone but it'll make you laugh when you hear MS Sam raise his voice to a sqeak at every ! while he reads some of TCH's top articles. http://www.cfs-technologies.com/home/?id=1.4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
