Free Speech

FREE SPEECH: Give your eyes a rest and let your PC express itself with WillowTalk, an exciting application that enables your computer to read text aloud from Web pages, Word documents, spreadsheets, email, and help files in a variety of digital voices. Applications of the speech technology are diverse: have your PC proofread a column of numbers in a spreadsheet to compare against your hard copy; tinker with an application while your computer reads the help file; have the time and date announced at specified intervals; or create audio scripts in which multiple characters speak their lines according to your requirements. You can easily modify the male and female voices, making them speak faster or slower, for example. WillowTalk even provides a free pronunciation dictionary that lets you change how it handles selected words and unusual names. You can also use the dictionary to provide instructions on expanding acronyms or skipping symbols altogether.
