Overview
The Read Anything, Anytime Program
The Universal Reader is a very easy-to-use utility that reads to you. The best part is that it works with virtually any application. Use it to read your email, your WORD documents, even web pages. It is as simple as selecting what you want to read, clicking on the floating toolbar and it starts to read. It only takes about 10 minutes to install and learn how to use it.
How does it work?
It is a true "reader". If you want to read ANY TEXT from ANY APPLICATION on your PC, all you have to do is highlight what you want to read and then click on the READ button. The Universal Reader will start reading to you. It is just that simple. Use it to proofread your documents, read your emails and even listen to a web page. It is truly a "universal reader".
With the “Talking Pointer”, all you have to do is place your cursor over virtually any text, icon or picture and the description or text will be read to you. It doesn’t get any easier that this!!! You even have selectable voices to choose from and you can even control the speed of the voices.
Floating Toolbar
The floating toolbar can be set so that it is "always on top" of other applications, it can be minimized onto the status bar or it can be running "behind" everything as you perform other tasks. The Universal Reader has a view window, which will display what is being read. If you only want to listen without the on-screen display, you can close this window and still have the toolbar active. To make viewing easier, you can change the text and background color, select a font and even enlarge the font up to 5 times it’s original size. It even highlights the word as it is being read.
