Searching for the best read-aloud software

(1/10) > >>

momonan:
Can anyone recommmend a good text-reading software?  I want it both to hear things read to me while I'm doing something else, and to hear foreign text read in the appropriate language.

I've looked at these:  http://naturalreaders.com and http://nextup.com but can't tell the difference.

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

tinjaw:
I have used TextAloud from nextup and like it very much. I cannot compare it with others because it is the only one of this type that I have tried.

KenR:
Gee, this is interesting. I have TextAloud and was NOT that impressed with it. It is older. Perhaps the new versions are much better. I'll have to update my software and check out the difference.

My experience is that it is far more important what voice you purchase. Forget about free ones; they stink (compared to $$ versions)!

Curt:
If money is an isue, and you think you can live with commercials nag messages, then you should (also) try out Cepstral's Callie. Normally it is $30, but with (oral) ads it is gratis.
