Talk2Me
Talk2Me is a super handy command line-based Text-to-Speech (TTS) program. It lets you take text from the command prompt or a batch file and makes it speak out loud. How cool is that?
Easy Setup for Windows Users
If you're using Windows 95, 98, or NT, you'll need to install the Microsoft Text-to-Speech Engine. You can find it on their website, but it's kind of hidden. No worries if you're on Windows 2000 or ME; that software is already installed for you!
Keep an Eye on Performance
But here's something to watch out for: Microsoft's engine can be a bit quirky. It has trouble when idle priority programs are using the CPU! This means that even short bits of text might take longer than expected to read out loud.
Examples of Programs That May Cause Issues
A good example of this would be "Seti@Home." If you're running something like that while trying to use Talk2Me, you might notice some delays.
Why Choose Talk2Me?
This tool is great if you want your computer to read things to you, whether it's for accessibility or just for fun. Plus, it's easy to use once you've got everything set up!
Final Thoughts
So if you're looking for a simple way to turn text into speech, give Talk2Me a shot! Just remember those little quirks with the Microsoft engine and enjoy listening!
