WillowTalk 2.0 TM Let's Your Programs talk to you!

Overview:
WillowTalk reads, in computer voices, the text from many documents, including popular word processors, spreadsheets, Internet web browsers, Help files, and many other programs.

WillowTalk automatically detects which of your open documents it can read. You just select among these documents and click the Play button to hear the text!
Willowtalk view screen for text-to-speech application

Willowtalk text-to-speech is the best yetWith WillowTalk you can do useful and fun things, such as:

"Read" documents, including Internet web pages, without looking at your computer screen
Proof-read a column of numbers you’ve typed into a spreadsheet against your hard copy version
Use an application full-screen while your PC reads the application Help file to you
Have your PC periodically announce the time and date and even play a computer speech or wave file alarm at a time you set
Hear how a speech you are writing will sound, and have WillowTalk time how long it will take to present
Create audio "scripts" or "plays" in which multiple characters speak their lines in different voices.

This is great fun for kids, and should be useful to you amateur script writers. (See below.)


Unique Features That Will Make You Smile
And WillowTalk includes some nice touches that you are sure to appreciate.

WillowTalk lets you:
Tell it how to pronounce unusual words or abbreviations, using the WillowTalk exceptions dictionary.

Use hotkeys instead of a mouse to switch among and read your open documents. This is handy, especially for people with bad eyesight.

Use the rewind button (or hotkey) to start reading again from the beginning of the current sentence. This lets you hear the text again if you've missed a word.

Choose to listen to an entire document or just a selected portion.
Modify and save the computer voices, making them faster or slower for example.

Reduce the amount of screen space the WillowTalk user interface uses.

Use almost all of the functions with a single mouse click or hotkey.

One of the coolest features, shown here, is the ability to create "plays" or "scripts" using computer voices. Each character speaks his lines in sequence, and of course you can save the scripts in files and share them with other WillowTalk users.
