This software review focuses on a new feature included in the installation of Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser. Upon right-clicking on the browser window, users will notice an additional menu option: Read {Language Name]!. This feature shares similarities with Agent PowerToy for IE's "Read it!" and "Speak It!" options.
For web developers, this feature offers support for Agent Powertoy, enabling the page to be presented instead of simply being read. The impressive thing about Read {Language Name]! is that it offers support for 11 languages.
One of the primary advantages of having a character read a web page is that it has a more familiar effect on viewers. Furthermore, as characters are coupled with an audio reading of the web page, many people can benefit from this method of information delivery. This includes the visually-impaired, illiterate persons, children who find it fun, students learning a second language, and even your favorite nerd looking for a geeky toy. Overall, Read {Language Name]! is a valuable addition to Internet Explorer's feature set.
