TextAloud Introduction

In a nutshell, TextAloud converts text into spoken audio. With TextAloud, you can either listen to the audio immediately, or save it to an audio file (.MP3 or .WAV) for later playback. The later option is a great feature for me, because all I need to do is convert the document into .MP3 format and copy it to my low-voltage .MP3 player.

The TextAloud interface is very easy to use. Newbies will appreciate the simplicity of TextAloud, because it provides simple-to-follow documentation up front.

By far, the best feature of TextAloud is its ability to convert text files to audio. Combined with the AT&T Natural Voices, TextAloud creates MP3 or WAV files with the best clarity I've heard in the computer voice generation field. For people like me who travel frequently, TextAloud provides a very convenient way to catch up on news and information.
