Animated cartoon characters using text to speech deliver news headlines, local weather, time, reminders, stock quotes, email, internet speed, Caller ID and more. Along with with spam filtering, instant messaging with text-to-speech or voice make this the most versatile and fun desktop utility available.

CyberBuddy
A Computer Secretary with Tons of Useful Features
by: JHS
on 14-Jan-2006 07:44:11 AM
Pros: Cyberbuddy is an extremely useful program that does all of the following: Checks for and reads new email; reads reminders, such as for appointments, at the set time; reads new changes to websites; reads updates to RSS news feeds; reads updates to stock reports, including to given specific stocks; reads updates to weather reports; announces current internet speed as often as every 10 minutes; reads text at entered URLS, as well as copied and pasted text; allows instant messaging; allows chats; announces the time as often as every quarter hour; tells jokes, its own or jokes the user added to the file; reads feel good messages, its own or those the user added to the file; and reads the thought of the day, its own or those the user added to the file. Within these functions are many options as well.
Some of the above functions can help a user with dial-up to stay online.
The MS Agent characters can be enjoyable to see and hear; they can be a pleasant diversion, as well as being useful. One can use free downloadable MS Agent characters, or can obtain higher-quality characters from a site that sells them. One can change the character's voice, the pitch of the voice, its speed, and its volume, and even the language.
Contrary to some reviews, Cyberbuddy honestly does not contain any spyware of any kind. I have used Cyberbuddy for a year now, and can guarantee that it contains absolutely no spyware.

on 01-Feb-2006 09:32:48 PM
Pros: Well I don't go giving out 5 stars all that often this is only the second time...But this program is great it can be used with dial up which I was worried about, but it is fully functional, has something for everyone, you can choose what to see and what not to see...you can make reminders for yourself, you can chat, and even check your e-mail...see stock Quotes, and even get the weather...pretty much does everything in one little program...it just does so much...Even has stories it can read for your kids ... Nothing to complain about here...
Cons: Was a little tough to download good thing I'm stubborn...well worth all the trouble though!

by: klairk3
on 28-Feb-2006 09:18:47 PM
Pros: I really enjoy it's interactive charactors, how it will read anything what you want, so I don't have to. I also like how it updates me on the news and weather and other stuff too.
Cons: The only thing i don't like is now i need to have the full version because its so good.

No Caller ID
by: rainbirdbrain
on 17-Feb-2008 08:40:00 AM
Pros: I was able to install it with no problems, it's pretty cute, and seems to do most things it's supposed to do.
Cons: As a previous reviewer noted, Caller ID is not actually available with this version, only with the paid version.
