GhostReader is an advanced application designed for users with vision problems or students who wish to improve their English phonetics; this efficient tool will read any selected paragraph or entire text while you sit back and listen.
All you will need to do in order to use this handy program will be to choose the file you wish to be read, configure the voice's preferences according to your needs (select voice, rate, volume, etc.) and press the Play button. The tool will instantly start reading the given text and you can start taking notes.
Additionally, you can set hot keys for any action, such as play speech, skip sentence, rewind and many other; this solution will save you plenty of time and effort while using the application.
A relevant advantage of using GhostReader is the fact that it allows you to save speech to iTunes track; just enter the track's name, choose the proper encoder (AAC, MP3, AIFF, etc.) and click the "Ok" button. You will be able to listen the saved audio file whenever you need to use the iTunes application.
All in all, GhostReader is a useful program that reads any given text document while you sit back and listen.
Pros
- Easy-to-use interface
- Many available voice configurations
- Able to set hot keys
- Able to save speech to iTunes track
Cons
- None
An interesting tool, we can play with. The possibility to record the track I like most. It seems to be possible to do audio books from the written ones you like, though I'm not sure about the quality of the out-coming file. Besides I consider it to be a rather expensive one.
