Version: Speakonia 1.3.5
"Convenient features, many voices"
Pros: I love this program. After installing it, I looked at the list of voices, and I counted 41; I was very happy with that. I had voices for Spanish, French, German, and Italian texts; I had British as well as American voices from which to choose. A feature I found extremely convenient is that if the program is open and one is using one's browser, one can simply select text on the page, or select the entire page, and immediately Speakonia will begin to read the text. In addition, the program has pitch, speed, and volume controls; it can save the text as wave files; and it will announce the current time and date on request.
Cons: The "Read Webpage" feature, in which Speakonia retrieves a specified webpage by itself and then proceeds to read it aloud, can result in Speakonia reading the encoding in the web page as well as the words. But this feature is labeled "experimental."
