radio, the vTuner/Replay Radio bundle let's you find and listen to thousands of

the BBC or China National Radio, you can tune in, or have your favorite program

[3 - New TextAloud MP3 voices from Cepstral and NextUp.com]
<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
We are proud to announce that NextUp.com and Cepstral have partnered to bring
exciting new voices to TextAloud users. These high quality SAPI5 voices are
available for purchase and immediate download from NextUp.com at
http://nextup.com/Cepstral.html
At that page you can listen to samples of Frank, Emily, Linda and Walter, the US
English voices. Additionally, Duncan adds some variety with a Scottish Accent,
and Robin is our first Child's voice.
Cepstral voices are currently for use within TextAloud MP3 and other SAPI5
compliant products. New builds of WeatherAloud, NewsAloud, and our other
products will be available shortly to include support for these fantastic new
voices.
With an install size of only 20mb per voice, this marks the first time quality
voices are available for download instead of delivery on CD. Additionally,
these voices are extremely fast when creating audio files, and support both
pitch and speed changes. The voices are $24.95 each, $5 off their normal list
price for a limited time.

Be sure to give these new voices a listen and let us know what you think.

Thousands of you are using TextAloud MP3 to read news, e-books, and other great

that makes suggestions on some of the best sites on the net for this type of

or other content that gets in the way of the text you are after. So now is your
chance to tell us about your favorite sites. These could be news sites, sites
with e-books, or some special interest site you think others would like to know
about. If you have suggestions, please send them to
