Other Thoughts:If you like those animated cartoonish helpers this program might be up your alley. It is not bad for free, but there is only a total of 4 voices. A wizard who sounds like MS Mike, a Genie who sounds to me like MS Sam, a Parrot who sounds too tenor and a Robot. No female voices. The character can be dragged about the screen but serves no purpose than eye-candy. For this to be GREAT the developer should include more voices, make the actor optional, and stop bugging about a PDF read I don't wish to download.

"I loved it!" by:Erin
Other Thoughts:It was a really really good program. It was exactly what I was looking for. The only problem was when I wanted it to read long documents because I could not find a way to pause the reading if I were to get a phone call or something. You have to close the program to get it to stop reading...other than that. I love it.

"Needs improvement" by:capmo
Other Thoughts:First of all, it only reads if the assistant is visible in the center of the screen! After a while it becomes annoing...
It also did not save my interface language and voice preferences. And for some strange reason it would not read in the British English accent, after having automatically downloaded this feature.
In its favor it has a wide range of "exotic" languages, and the bugs described seem easy to be solved.

"wtf" by:satisfied
Other Thoughts:lol...while the voice isn't perfect, it sounds far more natural than the Natural Reader... The only thing I don't like is that you have to have the assistant out to hear anything. But still, it has Korean! You just can't beat that =P
