You can learn English and othor languages more efficiently with the
help of the softwares which are compatible with the Microsoft's Text-
To-
Speech(TTS) technology.
Microsoft Text-To-Speech voice engine has been installed by default
on Windows 2000, XP, Vista, you can find what voice engines have been
installed on the computer by following Control Panel->Speech->Speech
Properties->Text To Speech tab->Voice selection drop down window. For
example, the voice of Microsoft Sam has been installed by default on
Windows XP, so you can listen to the files read by Sam. If you
download and install the voice engine drivers of Microsoft Mary and
Mike from Microsoft, you have more options for the voices you can
hear, even more, a lot of male and female voices in diffirent
languages are available from other companies.
If there is already a TTS voice on the computer, you only need to use
a TTS application to have your files read to you. There is a TTS
software installed by default on the Windows Vista, if you are using
Windows 2000 or XP, you can download and install a freeware named
panopreter at www.panopreter.com, this software can read text files,
MS word files in the language and voice you specified, the speed and
the volume of the sound are adjustable, it even saves the reading
into MP3 files, really a very powerful tool.
You see the text-to-speech function is very useful for us in many
ways, learning languages, relaxing yourself while listening and more.
