Good Sound... No clipboard reader.
hrhOmair- Pros
- Very good sound. Speed and Volume Controls. Abilty to produce MP3s.
- Cons
- Not recommended because it can't read the clipboard. I wanted to read technical papers and it's a pain to copy and paste each paragraph into this software.

AWESOME! WORKS SOOO WELL and SAVES TIME
angelady3- Pros
- FREE reads to you while you're doing other things voice is very good that comes with it, very realistic
- Cons
- only one voice to choose from (although a VERY good one) would prefer being able to paste in w/ a right'click rather than CNTL-V would prefer a way to strip the HTML in my pasted text, but pasting in notepad first then copying & pasting again works
- Summary
- All in all it's a superior and very simple program that does what you need it to. It's saving me valuable time where I can just listen to what it reads to me while I'm doing other things. You really have to try it. It's loads of fund using neat technology programs like this!<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Jan 17, 2009<p/>I just found out Text to Wav has the same Microsoft Anna voice and is much more user friendly program with buttons and options for adjustment, so I have chosen to use that program over this one.
Does what it says
lordmachiavelli- Pros
- Very simple. Type or paste text, choose a voice, click play, and it reads to you.
- Cons
- none
