GhostReader Text-to-Speech for Max OS X
Amsterdam - 5 July 2007 - AssistiveWare(R) / ConvenienceWare(tm)
today announced the release of GhostReader(tm) text-to-speech
software for Mac OS X. GhostReader 1.1 replaces TextParrot 1.0 and
introduces a number of new features with an enhanced user interface.
Just as ghostwriters write for other people, GhostReader can read for
you!
GhostReader is a Universal Binary, multilingual speech solution for
Mac OS X that allows users to listen to their documents with
naturally sounding voices in a language of choice. It also allows
users to create their own personal podcasts or audio books by
exporting to iPod-ready iTunes tracks. Or, users can just use it to
speak selected text in a handy reader window with play, fast forward
and rewind functionality. In some applications, such as Safari,
GhostReader enables users to listen to text by just pointing the
cursor at the text. Now users can sit back and relax while
GhostReader reads the text under the cursor.
Voices are currently available for the following languages: US
English, UK English, Czech, Finnish, French, Canadian French, German,
Icelandic, Italian, Danish, Dutch, Flemish, Spanish, American
Spanish, Portuguese, Brazilian Portuguese, Norwegian, Turkish and
Swedish. GhostReader itself is localized in English, French and
German.
