Size: 3.15 Мb The World's Most Popular Text to Speech Tool! TextAloud reads text from email, web pages, reports and more, aloud on your PC. TextAloud can also save your daily reading to MP3 or Windows Media files ready for playback on your iPod, PocketPC, or even on your TV with Tivo's Home Media Option. Be more productive or just be entertained wherever you go with our text reader. Advanced Article Font Controls Via Options->Article Font and Colors, you can now not only control font size, but font and window colors of both normal text and highlighted text. Voice/Pitch Change on main window You’ll notice that on the main window of our screen reader there is now a speed control slider visible (as well as pitch slider on voices that support it). This allows you to make adjustments to the currently selected voice even while speaking is underway. These adjustments are also available on the Edit menu with shortcut keys. Options/Preferences moved to Options Menu TextAloud 1.X had several options displayed on the main menu, including the familiar Clipboard, Voices/Engines, File Options, and Misc. Options TABs on the TextAloud main window. This was ugly, and caused sight-impaired users a great deal of trouble. All of these settings have been moved off to Options->TextAloud Options, and Options, Voice and File Options. Support for opening more file types TextAloud 1.x would only open .txt files from File->Open. TextAloud 2.0 can now directly open text files (.txt), Rich Text Files (.rtf), Microsoft Word Files (.doc), local HTML Files, and local PDF Files (.pdf). Batch File Conversion Available under File->Batch File Converter, this utility makes it simple to convert a large number of files containing text to audio files. Support for voice changes within a single article When you set our screen reader to use SAPI5 Only under Voice and File Options, you are now able to change voices within a single text article. The right-click menu contains a new entry, Insert Voice Change. Proofreading Hotkey To make proofreading documents and emails easier, we’ve created a new hotkey for proofreading. This can be set under Options->Hotkey Setup. Once created, you can be working in another program (for example an email you are composing or a document you are writing), you highlight a paragraph or two of text that you want to listen to, and then hit your proofread hotkey combination. A window will open, showing the text highlighted as it is spoken. You can adjust the voice as desired on this window. If you notice a mistake as the text is spoken, simply click anywhere on this window and speaking stops and the window closes, returning you to your document to make the correction. This offers a quicker, simpler way of proofreading without having to interact with TextAlouds main window. Bookmarks We’ve added bookmark functionality on the Edit menu, allowing you to set bookmarks within articles, and move to them with menu entries. Internet Explorer Plugin We’ve created a plugin for Internet Explorer, to allow easier use of text from web pages. After installing TextAloud 2.0, you may need to reboot before this will be available. Within internet explorer, choose View->Toolbars->TextAloud for IE. This will cause a new toolbar to be displayed on the IE toolbar. You may need to drag this toolbar or resize it to get all the items to display. The toolbar contains 5 elements System Requirements • Win 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista • Minimum P200 • 64MB RAM • 10MB Disk Space • Sound Card Homepage Download: (Size: 3,51 MB) RapidShare
