Version 3.0 released 11.14. 2k

American Indian Web Talkster v3.0 is our latest and greatest "American Indian theme talking web browser". Released as freeware. This browser takes advantage of Microsoft AgentŠ technology at it's finest. This talking browser features our newly released "Talkster" AgentŠ character. 

American Indian Web Talkster v3.0 is the result of on going development and improvements made to the Indian Web Talkster v1.0 - v2.0, Talking Browser v1.0, Web Talkster v1.2 , Talking Browser 2.0, Premo Web Talkster v1.0.f, and Premo Web Talkster v2.0 browser applications that have an audience of over an estimated 100,000 valued and loyal users. This software application gives you the option of having the browser "talk" the text content of a web page by means of one of many available antimated characters to choose from (but we hope you will elect to use our new "Talkster" character that comes with the setup!), by simply clicking the "Speak" button. In simple language, it is a American Indian theme talking web browser. The software has been beta tested and "talks" all formats of web sites with the exception of approx. 4% (beta test results) due to exotic programming formats and frame configurations.

Features included within the application are as follows:

• GUI interface with all standard Windows options.
• This browser setup includes the new "Talkster" AgentŠ character.
• Load most any text or web page document into the browser.
• Ability to select the color of the "skin" as well as the text captions. This feature lets you have it your way!

• Ability to "drag" the AgentŠ character to any where on the screen.
• Standard browser options (i.e. back, forward, refresh, stop, home, and print). Automatically uses the "Home" page that you have set in Microsoft I.E.
• Capability to load and have spoken any text based document into the browser.
