Features
The Premier Internet Toolbar is a custom toolbar designed for your browser with a variety of useful tools for accessing and capturing the Internet more efficiently.
- Reading text on the Internet couldn't be simpler--just point to the text you want to read and the Talking Pointer reads it to you!
- Is there a long article you'd like to read but don't have the time to read the whole thing now? Just use the Summarization utility to give you a condensed version of the content and read it to you! Or if you want to listen to the article away from your computer, that's not a problem! Use the Text-To-MP3 tool to create an MP3 file of the text that you can take with you on your MP3 player or iPod!
- Would you like to save a web page to refer to later or take with you? Maybe it's a news story or a great article for your research project. Use the Web Grabber to capture the page and save it for you as a PDF file!
These are just a few of the things you can do with Premier's Internet Toolbar. Premier Literacy is making your life easier in the digital world of the 21st century.
Powerful Tools
Use Them Every Day
Talking Pointer
The Talking Pointer is a useful tool for reading text on the Internet. When activated, the Talking Pointer will read aloud any text you point at on the Internet. It has a view window that can be turned on and off and that displays the word which is being spoken aloud. The Talking Pointer can also translate the text on-the-fly to several different languages – English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and German.
Talking Dictionary
The Talking Dictionary, which comes complete with a built-in thesaurus and word interlinking, makes finding a word easy. Unlike other dictionaries that take you to a separate website, the Premier Talking Dictionary will display and read the definition aloud in a pop up window. Highlight the word in question, and click the Dict. button on the toolbar to hear and/or view the definition.
Web Grabber
The Web Grabber is used to capture a web page. The Web Grabber allows you to grab and save an entire web page for later use. The web page is saved in a compact PDF file format. This single file format makes it easy to save and/or email. In addition, the Web Grabber has a built-in PDF editor which enables the merging of multiple files into a single file. It also allows pages to be deleted from a PDF file.
Text To MP3
The Text To MP3 tool will let you create either MP3 or Wave files. An MP3 file is a smaller, more compact file. An MP3 file, compressed with 128 bit sampling rate, will be about a third of the size of a comparable Wave file.
Internet Reader
The Reader is useful for reading long articles. It is a selective reader which means you can select the text you want to read and click the Reader button on the toolbar to hear the text read aloud.
Summarize IT
Summarize IT is a reading tool designed to help you efficiently wade through the extensive volumes of information on the Internet. The Summarize IT tool will summarize articles on-the-fly, saving you time by letting you quickly read a very accurate summary of an article.
Zoom Features
The Zoom In and the Zoom Out features let you reduce or enlarge the site with the click of a button.
