What can I do with Text-to-Speech software?
With the English text-to-speech software installed, many Mac OS programs can read English text out loud.
How can I try it out?
You can try out the text-to-speech software using SimpleText, an application program included with the Mac OS.
Open SimpleText and type some text in a document. Then choose Speak All from the Sound menu. Your computer will read the contents of your document out loud.
You can also try the following:
- To read a portion of the file, select the words you want to read, then choose Speak Selection from the Sound menu.
- To have the computer speak in a different voice, open the Sound menu and choose a voice from the Voices submenu, then choose the Speak All or Speak Selection command from the Sound menu.
- To use the text-to-speech features of
other programs, see the instructions that came with those
programs.
You can use the Speech control panel to choose the standard (default) voice or to turn talking alerts on and off.
