1383304 2014-09-05 23:11:00 Hi,

I note quite a few free text voice readers available. Can anyone recommend a FREE one please, easy to use, nice voice flow etc so I can listen to a few uni journals while doing some admin jobs.

Asking for recommendations following a recent bad experience downloading a freeware program - got my search bar bombed and took a bit to fix it...

As always, thanks for your assistance, Apo

1383306 2014-09-06 00:12:00 Thanks Speedy, yes, have used it but its very complicated as you have to remember piles of keyboard combos such as control+shift+enter to start reading, something else to stop, something else to pause... don't you find it cumbersome when there are a lot more friendlier programs?

1383307 2014-09-06 00:30:00 Whatever you do DON'T got to cnet or download.com. Their installers if you get the wrong one are full of malware. Filehippo may also have malware in their installs.

Have a look at some of these (www.google.co.nz)

1383310 2014-09-06 01:05:00 Thanks Speedy, Natural Reader Free works fine and is vastly more friendlier than Narrator... nice! Thanks again, Apo Aporosa (5671)
1383311 2014-09-06 01:08:00 Cool! Speedy Gonzales (78)
