Read4Me 1.6.4

Read4Me is a small application that reads the input text and pronounce it in a choice of voices.

Actually Read4Me is a full text editor with spell check, printing, saving to RTF, as well as plain text. Nice for kids, great for presenters and as a media production utility.

Read4Me is a great tool because listening to your text will catch errors that a spell checker won't, but it has the spell check to find the other errors, and it opens MS Word, and HTML or other text documents.

You can save the audio to a file, or save it to AudioBook to listen to on the road.

It is very easy to change the speed of reading in words per minute, or to start, stop and select another voice.
