You have just given your Macintosh 'the Freedom of Speech' with SmoothTalker 3.0, a software-only speech synthesizer from First Byte, the leader in speech technology.
I know you will find SmoothTalker both easy-to-learn, and fun-to-use.
As you can see, and hear, plain English text is converted to speech through Macintosh's built-in speaker. Over 1,200 rules are applied to the English text. These rules automatically encode variables like stress, pitch, and inflections caused by punctuation. See what I mean?
As your knowledge of SmoothTalker grows, you will also be able to manually specify the speed, pitch, tone, and volume of my voice. A 'Dictionary' function allows you to teach SmoothTalker to pronounce words and abbreviations, as you would like to hear them spoken.
SmoothTalker can be quickly mastered by using the on-line 'User's Guide' located at the right side of the main menu bar. The topics in the 'User's Guide' appear in the reading order that is suggested for the new user. Just start with the section 'How to Use this User's Guide'.
You have just given your Macintosh 'the Freedom of Speech' with SmoothTalker. Its capabilities are limited only by your imagination!
