One of the best writing tips you could ever receive is to have text read aloud to you. Hearing the written word is often more revealing than reading it on a computer screen. This program is a handy companion for whenever you're writing on the computer. It's a utility that uses speech synthesis technology to automatically read a selected piece of text. Key2Speak works with all Windows applications, including word processors, e-mail clients and instant messengers. The program operates "on-the-fly," offering immediate feedback as you're composing.The settings dialog allows you to configure the inputs that make your keyboard speak. For example, you can have it read text after periods, commas or question marks are typed. It can also wait until you've hit the return key, such as when you're finished writing a paragraph. By adjusting the program to your liking, it shouldn't interfere with your writing.Key2Speak can also automatically read copied text from the clipboard.

Aloud4ie

Aloud4ie is a handy download that adds text-to-speech capabilities to Internet Explorer. Basically, the program reads text on Web pages, so you can surf the Web while you multitask on the computer. Aloud4ie works as an unobtrusive toolbar on the browser, offering basic play and pause controls. You'll be able to open the program when you want to, and make it disappear whenever you'd rather read the text yourself. By default, Aloud4ie automatically reads every line of text on a Web page. You can also turn this option off and have the program read only the text that you've highlighted. This is a far better option for listening to news articles and other similar content. Also, it can be configured to speak many common languages. The English version offers two voices and seven speaking styles, and the program includes options for adjusting speed, volume and pitch for any language.
