This software reads text from various documents like web pages, spreadsheets, word processors, and help files. It utilizes computer voices to read the content aloud.
With WillowTALK, you can do both fun and productive things. For example, you can have it screen proof-read your column of numbers to your hard copy. It can also read for you while you use an application full-screen. One of its exciting features is that it can announce the time and date and even set an alarm for you to remind you of your schedule. It can also help you with your speech writing by reading it out loud, and letting you time how long it will take to present.
WillowTALK allows you to create 'plays' or 'scripts' using multiple computer voices. Each character speaks their lines one after another, and you can save these scripts to share with other WillowTALK users. The software also lets you choose from nine different male and female computer voices, as well as modify and save them to your liking. You can specify how unusual words or abbreviations are pronounced, and more.
Other features of the software include the ability to save sound output directly to a WAV file and the ability to control WillowTALK from the DOS command line. With its simple-to-use interface and numerous features, WillowTALK is a great addition to any user looking to get more out of their computer's text-to-speech capabilities.
