Mechanical Engineer Earns MBA, Avoids Eyestrain with TextAloud

As any student knows all too well, the intense and repetitive visual concentration required by the quiet act of studying can be a tiring experience, especially over prolonged periods, which can also add eyestrain into the equation. When he encountered severe eyestrain in his recent grueling studies for his MBA degree, mechanical engineer David Grove turned to TextAloud.

A busy professional by day, David earned his MBA online while also working a demanding full-time job as a senior engineer. "I'd gotten to the point where if I had to read another text ROI, I thought my eyes would explode!" he comments. "TextAloud allowed me to transfer the text to my MP3 player so that I could listen to the books in the gym, saving time -- and some pretty severe headaches. I wish I had found TextAloud sooner."

Online courses in particular require a tremendous amount of reading - an amount that increases exponentially for MBA studies. Navigating that sheer volume of reading required to maintain studies and attain his degree was a huge challenge, so David devoted every possible moment to study. However, even with reading glasses, his eyes physically could not handle the strain. Luckily, TextAloud enabled him to find a study solution that would ease his tired eyes.

To achieve his degree, David used TextAloud for study and memorization, and he also used the program to proof his papers and written reports, catching errors aurally that he would have missed visually.

In his day-to-day use of TextAloud, David praises TextAloud's built-in voices, but prefers its premium voices for high-volume usage. He also took advantage of TextAloud's powerful customization features to personalize his library and correct TextAloud's pronunciation of the technical or more obscure words and acronyms he used or encountered most often in his papers and studies. The program's versatility and ease of with a variety of portable electronic devices allowed David to use TextAloud with his MPIO, Creative Zen MicroPhoto, and LG Dare.

Thanks to the power of Text to Speech, David completed his studies. "TextAloud made all the difference in completing my MBA," he comments. "I would not have been able to complete my studies at the pace I did without it."
