Talking Computer

Post by Gary Shepherd »

I read recently about a program or web site that will read to you. Does anyone know what I'm talking about and where it it? Seems like the post I was reading mentioned that it would read any web site to you.

A blind friend of mine mentioned something called JAWS. I think it's a screen reader program that tells you when your mouse pointer is over an app. etc. I'll chase it down if needed. <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by James McPhail on 31 October 2004 at 08:27 PM.]</p></FONT>

My wife has a dictionary program on her computer that gives an audible pronunciation of words. That's handy at times, and also settles some arguments! Image
