Pros
The idea is cool.
Cons
It said it was reading and never made a sound, I tested to make sure my sound wasn't muted and all my other programs had sound. The settings were of little help, the browser was cheesy....um...done with that.
Summary
not fully functional

Pros
The voice is kind of fun
Cons
You cannot use java and such with this brower. Seems to be full of bugs. I have found that Opera is definetely a better go if you want to have a voice based web browser. Thank you to the user that suggested it :)

Nothing Opera can't do

Pros
It's handy having a voice-command browser. Its good for people with disablities.
Cons
Opera has a much better version of a voice command built in that is much more customizable, and lets you change anything. It is also a much much better browser than IE. If your thinking of trying this, try Opera 8 as well along with it and see how they compare.

My machine has been clean for nine months. Within minutes of installing Surfie, I have unknown processes running and a ton of Gator-style popups. Also, it doesn't do anything but read the title. Windows comes with built-in speech functions that are more useful. Don't install this!
A definitely cool download!

Since I downloaded Surfie, I no longer now use Internet Explorer. I like the speech output and input part and easy to learn interface. This makes web browsing experience very unique. I strongly recommend this product and is absolutely free. It is not spyware and is ad-free.
