Sound Text

Hi there,
I would like to have a software that could "read" a text or
a email so I could listen to it on the speakers.
Instead of reading the text or the email, I would ear it.

thanks in advance.

You can use the talker plugin to read text out loud. It mainly for reading web pages but I may work on emails too.

Disregard my answer. It is MAC only. Im not aware of any other free software but there must be some around. If you are looking for a pefessional product try starcaster:-

there is a speach recognition/text to speach tool that microsoft has been devloping this will do what you want but i don't think you can set it up to automatically start reading your email when you open it. the program is called MS-Dictation and is available on the microsoft site as a free download.. unfortunately i can't find the exact address but a search on their site should locate the download. Also if you are using AOL *shudders* they do have a text to speach tool that works with their e-mail i believe it goes for around $20. Netscape is alos advertising something on their homepage but i believe that is simply for recording/sending/playing wave files for use with email.
