SpeechPlayer 1.0 Released
SpeechPlayer 1.0 text-to-speech application is now available for download and purchase. Use SpeechPlayer to listen to your emails, web pages, reports or any text on your PC. Great for relaxing your eyes, proofreading, etc.
Why SpeechPlayer over other text-to-speech programs?
Unlike other text-to-speech programs, SpeechPlayer offers a unique TV-like closed captioning feature. As no synthesized speech is perfect, closed captioning provides additional interpretive information for the words spoken by the synthesized voice. You can switch between applications or windows and the caption will nicely remain superimposed at the bottom of the screen while it reads out aloud the text passage to you.
