ReadPlease 2003
-
Version
1.1
ReadPlease/ReadPlease Plus 2003 is a fully-featured,
easy-to-use, and natural sounding text-to-speech
program that can read anything on your screen (as long
as it can be copied onto the clipboard). The Plus
version is compatible with the AT&T Natural Voices
speech engine allowing for some of the highest quality
voices (8k and 16k) on the market today. The basic
voices that come with both versions are Microsoft
Mike, Mary, and Sam, but there are hundreds of free
international/multilingual Microsoft voices available
for download. Each version supports customizable
fonts and background colors as well as a “low vision
colour mode.” You can use ReadPlease to read your e-
mail, documents, or favourite web pages. ReadPlease
makes it easy to follow along since it highlights each
word as it reads it. ReadPlease Plus allows you to
add your own custom pronunciations, replacement words,
and words to be ignored by the program. While both
versions are accessible from the system tray, only
ReadPlease Plus has a docking feature that turns the
program into an auto-hiding taskbar placed at the top
of the screen.
