Code-it Software, Inc. has been developing Text 2 Speech applications/ solutions since 1996. Our first successful development effort was a talking web browser that is still being downloaded at a rate of over 200 copies per month. It is estimated that our "Web Talkster" and "Web Speakster" talking browser have over 200,000 users out there in cyber space. Our experience has been that most T2S applications are being used just for fun - they are fun to mess around with but are not being used to their full potential by the average user.  So you may ask "What potential uses are I missing?"  Let me count the ways!

1. Use T2S to learn or teach English as a second language. The reason I am narrowing it down to English is that other language T2S engines have not been developed to the extent that English T2s engines have. This may change in the near future?

2. To my knowledge, there has been no T2S software to take advantage of the Project Gutenberg which offers over 100,000 free text (and HTM) formatted e-books. This fact has changed due to Xtreme T2A+A software - the "eBook Recorder"! Now record these free books to audio (WAV or MP3 format) then burn on an audio CD-R for your listening pleasure any where, any time.

3. Time shifting! This, in my mind, is the biggest feature of T2S that users have been missing. As stated in the above comment you can easily listen to any text content that has been recorded to audio at any free time you may have. Studying for a test at college? Record the content to CD-R or load it into your MP3 player - have it available while you are driving or waiting in line to get lunch, etc. Are you a business man or woman that needs to make a speech or presentation when you get to work? Use your commute driving time to refresh your mind of the content - recorded to CD-R and played in the car CD player or recorded to MP3 and loaded into a MP3 player. The possibilities are almost endless how "time shifting" can enhance your life and make use of "dead time".  

4. We had a report that a previous T2S software product we were offering was been used to broadcast weather reports to ships at sea - just one example of uses that are not readily realized.

5. I could go on and on - if a little imagination is used you could probably think of a use that may not of ever been thought of !

Windows XP users...

By default, XP has Microsoft SAPI 5.1 installed with one voice (Sam) but your "mileage may vary" !

If the software will not initialize this more than likely means that you need to install Microsoft SAPI 5.1 (speech application programming interface that includes the Mike and Mary voices). Get it here >>>  this link (6.22 Mb) then double click after download to install.

If you just need / would like to have the Mike and Mary voices - get them HERE

VERY IMPORTANT: Before this software can activate/ operate normally you MUST have Microsoft SAPI 5.1 (speech application programming interface) installed on the system.
