Speakonia 1.3.5

Speakonia

Convenient features, many voices

by: JHS on 25-Jun-2005 05:07:09 AM

Pros: I love this program. After installing it, I looked at the list of voices, and I counted 41; I was very happy with that. I had voices for Spanish, French, German, and Italian texts; I had British as well as American voices from which to choose. A feature I found extremely convenient is that if the program is open and one is using one's browser, one can simply select text on the page, or select the entire page, and immediately Speakonia will begin to read the text. In addition, the program has pitch, speed, and volume controls; it can save the text as wave files; and it will announce the current time and date on request.

Cons: The "Read Webpage" feature, in which Speakonia retrieves a specified webpage by itself and then proceeds to read it aloud, can result in Speakonia reading the encoding in the web page as well as the words. But this feature is labeled "experimental."

Pros: conversion to wav file option is good.no other xtra quality.I have similar programme for children called "TALK IT"which offers at least 20 accents;each with 50 times better quality of sound reproduction and much smaller in file size.

Cons: 1.Asian/Indian accents missing

2.clarity not to good level

3.it will be good if it gives tray icons so that it can be run in the background.mere naming of text document should start reading

A good Flash tool.

Pros: I like this because you can make the speeches with funny voices that work well with Flash. It's free, small in file size and easy to use.

Cons: Unrealistic voices and old technology can make this a bit unattractive, but it is still a solid program.
