I have a lot of articles I want to read online, but I odn't wnat to spend that much time on hte computer, and printing htem all seem like a waste, especailly when most of them will be thrown away after being read.
Edit: One such program (appears to be the best) is Top Drawer Downloads - TextAloud Text-to-Speech Conversion Anyone have any experience with it?
Edit again: Apparently this'll work if you're on mac: Tucows Downloads - Text Reader 1.2.1 Freeware Software. I'll keep looking for windows. |
macs already have a built in speech function, i think..with a bunch of voices - the problem , though they have gotten better - is that they really don't imitate the natural rythms of speech and its hard to really grasp what is being said - i think these type of programs are really only good for editing (catching errors)
