Best of the free voice programs
issachar54/29/2013- Pros
- able to fill a screen with VERY large letters (for seniors) Able to hear Microsoft Annie, a good, free voice, plus others Able to paste in just about any PDF, WORD, etc. text Works with Dragon Naturally Speaking installed (unlike HAL) Hi-lites sentences for easy follow on a screen Works with Vista and Windows 7 easily VERY easy to use
- Cons
- It doesn't appear that you can add any of the tru-voice, or AT&T natural voices.
- Summary
- I compared it with many voice programs; except for the lack of tru-voice adding ability, it pretty much beat the free, and the costly.
It's very useful.

Smart read
sukumar144/30/2008- Pros
- Surprising that its s/w compatibility is good except for one reason that at time of installation it will ask for permission several times and a location to extract files twice !! Its so simple and contains all; that is required to a user. Plus, its free !!! It has an option to download additional voices which may not work on new o/s.
- Cons
- Its development is in initial stage. After installation, sam, mike and mary like voices may not work on new o/s.
- Summary
tried it twice, no dice
maidensolo2/20/2008- Pros
- Nothing; never worked;
- Cons
- Upon troubleshooting and attempted repair, details devulged that voices and voice engines were dumped upon instillation. I am running XP on my PC.
- Summary
It is easy to use with simple instructions to guide users.
khoomingyew12/9/2007- Pros
- It can read text in English and Chinese.
- Cons
- It can only read in American English. It would be better if it can also read in British English. Reading Chinese text can only be read by a male voice. It woud be nice if it can read articles directly without the need to transfer passages to the space provided.
