View a PDF file for this press release Millions of people the world over suffer from dyslexia, which can short-circuit visual reading and make comprehension difficult. Bringing visual text into natural-sounding speech, TextAloud is easy to use PC software that's priced from just $29.95. Circumventing the ways in which dyslexia can make visual text difficult to enjoy or comprehend, all TextAloud requires is a quick download and installation, and users like Christine and her husband are now free to listen to websites, e-mail, articles, eBooks, and more. TextAloud is perfect for dyslexics, as well as those with ADD, ADHD, and other reading disorders - as it also frees them up for listening to text anywhere they go, and on almost any popular portable device (and it even works with iTunes). After installing TextAloud to their PC, Christine's husband was able to use the Text to Speech program within minutes to read any interesting text he found on the Internet. The process of listening to text proved far easier and less frustrating than the visual reading process, and his comprehension was improved as well. "With dyslexia, there's a huge benefit to having the ability to listen to text," comments Christine, "instead of struggling through trying to read it visually." TextAloud quickly became the couple's primary reading tool. Soon listening to articles and website text was no longer an exotic solution, but simply the best way to enjoy their reading. "TextAloud definitely changed our view of Text to Speech," comments Christine, who had expected to encounter stilted computer-like speech that would be difficult to enjoy. "Instead, TextAloud with Acapela's 'Heather' voice was natural, flowing, and easy to understand." TextAloud provided the perfect alternative to reading frustrations for Christine's husband, bringing the power, entertainment and information of the world to him by ear, instead.
