ReadPlease 2000 shatters the myth that computers must sound robotic and monotonous. Just imagine having web pages and e-mail read aloud to you. If you are finding there is just too much on-screen reading with all of this technology, then you will love using ReadPlease. ReadPlease 2000 uses your PC sound card to read text in your choice of four different types of voices. It reads text pasted into the virtual electronic reading device on screen and includes menu entries and options to help make it easier to paste text. Text and rich-text formats are accommodated, and menu choices let you read only the highlighted sections. Four male- and female-styled voices are included, with pitch adjustments as well as read-back speed changes that can be made on the fly. Another feature lets you select a file for the program to load at startup, as well as an Internet or intranet page
