DESCRIPTION
WreadFiles is a vocal text file reader program for use on the
Commodore Amiga. The text is both printed to the screen and spoken.
The basic features are summarized as follows:
o Text is read in sentences rather than lines.
o Dynamic Speech Correction on over 4000 word or word fragments.
o Reading Rate: 920 (A1000) to 1290 (A4000) bytes/minute.
o Corrected Pronunciation of many place and personal names.
o Corrected Pronunciation of some foreign names and expressions.
o Corrected Pronunciation of many abbreviations containing vowels.
o Expansion of many capitalized abbreviations.
o Standard pronunciation of many multi-digit numbers.
o ANSI color codes stripped from text displayed or spoken.
o Ignores repeated characters.
o Different voices for user interface and reading.
< Alternate voice for text delineated by brackets.
-> These brackets are often used to identify quoted text. <-
<< Three basic types are supported. Single or double brackets >>
> may be forward or reverse, left side only or left and right. <
o Single file or indexed multi-file read modes.
o Run from Workbench or CLI.
o Used with A1000 (OS 1.3), A3000 (OS 2.04-2.1), and A4000
(OS 3.0)
o ASL file requester for input file selection for OS 2.04+.
NEW FEATURES
o Correcting vocabulary increased 20-25%.
o Alternate high-contrast color setup: white text on black
background in addition to the normal black text on lavender
green.
o Program icon tooltypes now enable user pre-selection of reading
rate, color and full screen ASL file requester.
