There is something about hearing your words spoken aloud that helps you to add the spit and polish to your documents, its easier to find mistakes and think of better ways to word what you are trying to say.
* Hearing text spoken aloud will help you if you are visually impaired or are dyslexic.
* Listening to, instead of reading, text on your computer.
“I think Text-To-Speech software is fun, useful, and amazing technology for your personal computer. The thing is, most people don\’t know that their computer is capable of reading text aloud to them. I have developed three Text-To-Speech software titles (Sherlock Holmes a Library, Civil War Quotes, Notes and Facts, and Civil War Books: Robert E. Lee) that I sell through my nellaware.com web site.
“When I was developing Civil War Quotes, Notes, and Facts, I used TextAloud v1.0 to help me proofread what I had written about the Civil War. It was a great help to hear my words spoken aloud and I was able to make many corrections and rewordings, somehow my eyes would skip over mistakes…but TextAloud always revealed them to me! I think TextAloud is WorthWhileSoftware and recommend it.”
