Text Speaker 3.1

Text Speaker 3.1 is a very good application that will let you convert any text into an audio file. When you first launch the software, you will see a blank space where you are going to be able to write anything you want. By clicking on the play button, the program will read what you have written out loud. You can choose different voices (male and female) to pronounce the text. Many people can find this software pretty useful. I can imagine a student using this software to convert a text file into an audio file and then listening to it while walking towards the school or college. Text Speaker 3.1 can also be used by professionals who want to listen to a speech while doing other things.

This application is not free. However, you can download a free trial version to test it yourself. The free version will pronounce only 200 words, after that you will have to decide whether you want to buy it or not.

One thing I have noticed about this software, is that it supposedly allows you to change the language it works with. When you change it from English to Spanish for example, all the interface will change, but when you click on the speak button, you will notice that the pronunciation on the other language is terrible. It only works fine in English. Nevertheless, there is a nice feature that will let you change the pronunciation of a specific word.

Text Speaker 3.1 lets you set hotkeys to make the program easier to use.
