A Computer That Talks Back!

Tired of reading those small fonts and sometimes long, lengthy documents on the Web? Are you equally tired of the eye strain that goes with it? Now you have reason to rejoice! Your computer can read them to you--and I am not talking about some computerized, robotic voice, either. This free software features four natural-sounding human voices (Mary, Mike, Sam, and Marilyn). Since this software will only read text or Rich Text Format files, you must cut and paste the text of any web pages you want read to you in to one of these file formats--a small price to pay for the convience of having a website read to you. You can also adjust the pitch and control how fast Read Please speaks, which will free you up to do other things. The next time you want to get up from your compueter and stretch, turn on Read Please and take a break while your computer talks to you!
