TextAloud MP3

TextAloud MP3 is a cute little application that reads any text you copy to the clipboard and if required, converts the text file to either MP3 or WAV formats. The program is capable of reading any text, such as e-mails and Web pages, Word documents, etc. No extra cutting and pasting is necessary, because the program monitors the clipboard and can automatically send the text copied to its interface. The easy-to-use VCR-style controls allows you to play, pause and fast-forward through the text. TextAloud MP3 allows you to choose from a number of different configurable voices-male, female and robotic voices, etc.- and edit the dictionary to help with pronunciation. Thus this is a text reader combined with MP3/WAV converter–you can hear text that you either type in or transfer to this program; you can also record these audio text files in MP3 or WAV format to listen them later.

You will increase your typing speed and your productivity. You will reduce the number of typing errors. You will do all these without looking at the keyboard-that is the beauty of touch-typing.

Till now, touch-typing has been practiced mostly by stenographers, personal assistants, secretaries and other data entry operators. But in today’s competitive world where everyone is required to work on a computer, the single finger or two finger typing won’t do. Every one who uses the computer (especially the information worker who uses it for performing almost 80% of his/her tasks) needs to learn how to type correctly-i.e., learn touch-typing. Touch typists can do more work in fewer hours, giving them extra time to devote to other tasks.
