BrowseAloud reads web pages aloud for people who find it difficult to read online. Reading large amounts of text on screen can be difficult for those with literacy and visual impairments.

Have downloaded and tested on Dynabook P5 (Windows XP) but the control panel does not appear for unknown reason on 2010/1/26. Plan to test on VISTA on Dynabook K-17 in the very near future.

You can hear and test sound/voice quality by accessing BrowseAloud text2speech enabled web pages , without downloading BrowseAloud program at:

Downloaded helpful user guide files in FLASH (FLV) from
http://www.browsealoud.com/page.asp?pg_id=80097

Found interesting commercial software from Texthelp Systems Inc., in particular "Fluency Tutor" , whose FLV guide video is also downloaded locally.

Quote:

Texthelp Systems Inc. is an assistive technology software company with corporate offices in Antrim, Northern Ireland and Woburn, Massachusetts.

This is a similar free software with TextAloud which is already purchased in 2008 and installed with no problems on Dynabook G8 (Windows XP)
