"Wonderful Voices That Can Be Bought with the Software"

by lem729 on June 28, 2006

Pros: There are wonderful voices that can be bought with the software. The state of the art is much higher than I had thought. One can listen to these computer voices read and enjoy it. The software permits you to correct mispronunciation, insert pauses, etc. It also comes with a toolbar for Firefox and IE, and keyboard shortcuts that make it quite useable with Opera also. Apparently additional support for Opera and Microsoft Word is on the way.
