- Tinytalk is an inexpensive and memory-efficient screen reader program which
- is compatible with the majority of commercially-available speech
- synthesizers. It provides the basic functions of a screen reader: immediate
- (BIOS) output, keyboard echo, review mode, cursor tracking and automatic
- screen monitoring. You can define what gets read on horizontal cursor moves
- and vertical moves; options include characters, lines, words, text in the
- same attribute as the cursor, text between line-drawing characters, etc. Up
- to 10 screen windows can be automatically monitored, and you can specify
- what gets read when a monitored area changes: whole area, just text in
- certain attribute, just text that's scrolled in, trigger another window,
- etc. "Floating" windows are available for reading things like column
- titles. Tinytalk can automatically detect and read box-bordered popup
- windows without having to be told where they are, and will automatically
- track lightbars in such windows. There's also a forms mode for data entry
- screens: as you move from field to field, you'll hear the prompt and field
- contents for the field you're on (and only for that field, even if there are
- more than one on the line).
-
- Tinytalk can hold up to 10 configurations (settings, banks of 10 windows,
- etc.) in memory at one time. It can automatically switch to the appropriate
- configuration when you execute a program (even if the program is being
- invoked from within another one).
-
- Tinytalk is shareware with a registration fee of $75 US. Evaluation copies
- are available from several bbs's. The evaluation version is fully
- functional; the registered version eliminates the initial "nag message." If
- you don't have access to a BBS that carries it, you can obtain an evaluation
- copy for $5 US (which will be credited toward the registration fee). We can
- also send you the evaluation version directly by modem (as long as you're
- the one paying for the call).
