[Athen] anything better than built in TTS on Surface?

[Wink Harner]

Nitro has a free screen reader too.

 

Also try the new one from Central Washington.

 

If she wants to spend $$ there are other options. 

 

Free is good! Balabolka is easy to use and easy to manipulate the
adjustments of voices, speed, pitch etc. as the tools are on the onscreen
toolbar.

I would recommend trying Balabolka, it is free and a pretty decent
electronic reader.

I have a student who is sighted and predominantly uses her Surface (1.0, not
2.0). Is there anything better besides the built-in Narrator which is more
of a screen reader than TTS engine?
