  "Very satisfied"

  by mrsraj on November 17, 2009

  Pros: If you have additional voices of att this reader is very handy.
  we can customize the hotkeys so that we can pause stop resume as we wish
  I changed the hotkeys to f9 f10 f11 and it served my purpose well
  good for students. and e book readers I guess

  Cons: Its simple may not have advanced features and natural voices but if you buy att natural voices operation is good

  Summary: I would certainly recommend this product read more

  "Great with 32-bit Vista"

  by vmazelis on September 16, 2009

  Pros: Exeptionally easy to use, very intuitive, works well in 32-bit environment.

  Cons: Preinstalled voices ar of low quality. In 64-bit Vista does not recognize installed SAPI5 voices.

  Summary: A perfect all purpose reader in 32-bit OS. All the SAPI4 voices that come with the program are of very low quality. Works well with SAPI5 AT&T and Nextup voices, but only in 32-bit Vista. Fails to recognize and use SAPI5 voices in 64-bit Vista. read more

  "Used on and off and always amazed me!"

  by FrogFace135 on September 8, 2009

  Pros: 1. tts voice has very clear default English pronunciation.
  2. very easy to use with most web browsers.
  3. nice document interface that organizes different documents.

  Cons: 1. the default tts voices pronounce the "S" with too much pitch and causes some listening discomfort.
  2. clipboard reading function is a little tricky if you are trying to edit text and listen to text in the browser at same time.(see below)

  Summary: The default English voices that come with the setup package is very clear considering this is free software. It seems that the developer spent quality time tweaking the voice because free tts voices don't sound that good in other applications (in my ... read more

  "Gave me all that I needed."

  by babsbini on July 10, 2009

  Pros: Has multiple voices; converts to wav and mp3 without any problem; opens/reads rtf and txt files; ability to change voice speed and pitch; no irritating system tray icons; nice and simple UI.

  Cons: Some of the voices are too digital - I guess hence they have provided multiple voices.

  Summary: Great software... I m lucky I dint have to sieve thru dozens of applications to get one of the best ones. There were a few others that I tried that either would not allow saving the audio file in free version or would crash, but this one works like a... read more

  "Arcane setup - commands not easy to understand"

  by kvivian--2008 on July 3, 2009

  Pros: Price. Manufacturer's review.

  Cons: Old fashioned appearance of the product. Not at all intuitive. Tried recording and never could make it work. Simply nothing happened, not even an error message. No indications of where to get help.

  Summary: Perhaps this program is miscategorized. I tried it because I wanted to be able to dictate paragraphs of text. The recorder tool bar appeared on my desktop, but when I clicked on the record arrow, nothing at all happened. There is no real help avail... read more
