The Reader

The Reader is a software designed specifically to make reading text-formatted books (files with a "txt" file extension) much easier for you. Given that numerous books of this type can be found on the internet, it's an excellent tool to have. With The Reader, you don't just have to read your books; you can listen to them too. The Reader is capable of speaking the text of the books to you, and you can even put it into automatic mode to read entire books for you.

The Reader's primary function is to help you read text books with ease; however, it is also a great tool that can aid in improving reading skills. The Reader is equipped with many functions that can help a person become a better reader. In case there is a word you don't understand on the screen, you can highlight the term and access its definition or find other similar words. The Reader can even pronounce words for you so that you can learn how to articulate them correctly.

Additionally, you can read along with the book while the software speaks the text to you. At the outset, you can have The Reader speak slower, so you can get used to the pace at which it reads. As you get better at reading, you can gradually increase the speed of the spoken text. Speech capabilities come built-in with The Reader, allowing you to have the book spoken to you seamlessly.

Moreover, The Reader leverages the Macintosh's built-in speech capabilities, giving you the freedom to use the "Speech" preference pane to select the speaking voice and adjust the pace of the speech. When used as a learning aid, students can read along while the computer speaks the text. In this case, it is best to set the speech at a slower pace.

Overall, the Reader is an impressive software that goes beyond merely reading text books. Its features make reading much more enjoyable while users get to improve their reading skills. If you're someone who loves to read or desires to become a better reader, The Reader is definitely worth a try.
