[Athen] Free Screen Readers

[Nettie Fischer]

Hi Milt,

Sorry that I don't have time to comment on more than one but, I do use and
like Natural Reader and like it for several reasons:
1- with the full screen, the sentences being read are highlighted with each
word ividivually highlight to help the reader track
2- you can minimze (make a small radio front that sits on your desktop, when
you open a doc or website, you can highlight the target text and push the
play button on the little radio pane and the text is read aloud.
3.  Brain freeze on the voice options but, needles to say, the free voices
are okay but better if you purchase the upgrade.
  I recently purchased a system with Window 7 and haven't played with it on
this OS, yet. <smile>

brief but it's a start -Nettie
