A talking computer sounds like science fiction - just think of Space Odyssey
2001 and the amazing Hal! The thought of your own computer talking and reading
out documents with a realistic human voice may not be an option you've ever
considered. Nevertheless, it is something that you can have today - and it's
surprisingly easy and affordable!
TextAloud is the text-to-speech
software that can turn your previously silent computer into a powerful, time-saving
talking tool. It uses voice synthesis to convert text into spoken audio,
enabling you to listen to documents, emails, web pages and reports while
you carry on doing other things. The other great thing about TextAloud is
that the benefits aren't limited to your talking computer - you can save
your daily readings to MP3 or Windows Media files and listen to them on your
iPod or PocketPC.
TextAloud is also a great help for people with visual or speech impairments.
This talking tool reduces the strain that computer use can put on your eyes,
and can also assist you if you've temporarily or permanently lost your voice
(please see Talk For Me for more information about this particular problem).
TextAloud uses the latest, most human-like voices available today. Click
Here for a sample audio file created using our text-to-speech tool
with the optional AT&T
Natural Voices™. We also offer exciting premium voices from NeoSpeech™ and Cepstral™ to
bring you the best quality and personality in speech for your PC.
Our customers love being able to turn their PC into a talking computer!
Here's what some of them have said:
"We use it to save time here at the office reading aloud our emails
so we can then input client information into the database. Its like
having the customer on the phone!" - Kevin
"I have been using TextAloud for the past two years as an aid for
my on-line Masters degree program. I have found that TextAloud
has brought an level of sanity to my chaotic life by enabling me to
listen to my reading material as I drive to and from work, workout
in the gym, do yard work, etc." - Bryan (New Hampshire)
"I want to thank you for all the things NextUp has made possible for
my wife and me for the past couple of years. We have had more fun with
TextAloud and the AT&T voices of Mike and Chrystal than you will ever
imagine. I am disabled, severe parkinson, and the aid I have recieved
from TextAloud is far above what anyone can ever imagine. I am able
to use the voices to read every thing off the internet for me, but
the greatest thing is that i am able to save it to file." - Doc
