| Text Speaker: Speaking Text Aloud |
Speaking Text Aloud
The most basic function of Text Speaker is reading text. To read the text of a file, first open the file, then click Speak >> Speak Current File. You can also use the Speak button on the toolbar, or right-click on the file and click Speak in the Option menu. This reads the entire file, starting at the beginning. As each word is read, Text Speaker highlights that word with reverse video:
To speak only part of the text, you can start from the cursor position. Just click or use the arrow keys to move the cursor to the correct point, and then Speak >> Speak From Current Cursor Position. Text Speaker will begin reading from the position of the cursor and continue to the end of the text, unless you stop it.
Text Speaker can also speak a particular segment of the file:
To speak only the selected text, click Speak >> Speak Selected Text.
If Text Speaker is speaking and you would like to stop it, click Speak >> Pause (which stops the speech and leaves the cursor positioned after the last word spoken) or click Speak >> Stop or the Stop button, which move the cursor to the beginning of the current file after stopping the speech.
