Text Talkster
Text Talkster v1.0 is a software application that once activated the program icon resides conveniently hidden in the lower right system tray ready for instant use. It speaks the content of the clipboard by means of a animated character {Genie} after you have copied any text (i.e. e-mail, web page, text document...). In simple language, it is a blue antimated Genie that speaks the clipboard content. This application uses Microsoft Active X AgentŠ Technology. The software has been beta tested and "talks" all clipboard content regardless of what type document it was copied from. We have found that this software is not only fun to have on your system but also has some other value not immediately realized. It has been very useful for persons that have a hard time reading written English but can understand the "spoken" word. After writing a letter, school paper, or any other document; copy it to the clipboard and then sit back and relax to have GenieŠ read it back to you in spoken form. This procedure helps in targeting revisions that may be needed to your document, as the "spoken word" sometimes comes across differently then the "written word". It has also been reported that this application is of some benefit to children or persons with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) which we are particularly happy about. Our Review: As well as regurtitating vocally that which you have copied to the clipboard, Text Talkster's blue genie can also talk text from a textfield and tell you the date and time. Text Talkster is great for kids as well as being useful for those who want a second opinion of their work (it works quite well as a proof-reader). Also, speaking directly to you by name, Text Talkster also brings back fond memories of Knight Rider and 2001: A Space Odyssey - neat!
