Recent TextAloud blog mentions

NeoSpeech led in turn to the discovery of TextAloud, where NeoSpeech and other compatible voices are sold. While a TextAloud demo succeeded in getting the Microsoft Korean voice to work, the quality was predictably robotic - though my girlfriend thought at first it was reading with a North Korean accent - make of this what you will... Having satisfied myself that a combination of TextAloud and the NeoSpeech Korean 'Yumi' voice was the best, I bought them. Purchasing was fairly painless but the voice file was a 550Mb download which took a while.

The Advantages of Text To Speech Readers

We live in such a fast paced world. Everything that we do is getting quicker and quicker. Waiting a minute or two for something 10 years ago is equivalent to waiting 2 or 3 seconds today. Don't you think that is true? And we are now masters at multitasking. Even men multitask and that used to be thought of as a woman's talent.

It can read your email, web pages, reports and lots more aloud to you on your PC. Imagine being able to dust and have your email read aloud to you, or cook supper while listening to a report for work. You can also have them saved as Mp3 or Windows Media files. Then you can just take your reading with you and listen on your iPod or PocketPC. Isn't that amazing? More...

I have found something good!

As an increasingly frequent writer, my concern about putting out well written material has given me pause for thought. Some recently read, self-published books that I found to be horrific literary adventures, have only added to my concern. Given that I write a blog, I can't very well blame my editor, publisher or proof-reader.

I imagine that I could blame my wife (my unpaid editor)... but doing so would only confirm suspicions that my jackass writings are indeed written by... a jackass.


Well, the good thing I have found will at least let people know that I can, more frequently than not, put together the basics of grammar, punctuation and spelling.

The tool is called TextAloud, and it simply converts written words into words spoken aloud by my computer.
