Text to speech (TTS) in Outlook and Word
by Guest chribonn- 0 replies
- 92 views
Hi, I am looking for a text to speech (TTS) tool that will allow me to use Word 2007 and Outlook 2007 to proofread text. In my ideal world, I would like to see a toolbar in my Word 2007 document that highlights each word as it is being read. Once I notice a typo, I stop the program, correct the typo and then click the start from cursor button. NextUp's TextAloud has great voices but it does not seem to integrate well with the two products mentioned. For example, in Outlook the TextAloud toolbar is not in the window in which you type the email but in the window in which you read mail. Once I notice a mistake, I stop the reader, open the edit window correct t…

Hello. I'm writing from France with a problem I haven't been able to solve here.

Anyway I try it won't go. There is no "Suppress" nor "Erase" menu entry anywhere. What would you do to get r…

For Windows XP Home I'm looking for backup software that would do several things: 1.

Re: remove files from showing in desktop - background Hi everyone, It wasn't until today I detected I had the same problem in which Desktop Display Properties listed all pictures from the original My Pictures folder and subfolders.

Under search results, look for folders called My Pictures in locations other than original My Documents folders 3. Delete My Pictures folders not listed in any original My Documents folders Here's how it happened to me. Last week, I downloaded a picture while i…
