Description:

TypeIt ReadIt can help users who are visually impaired, cannot read, desire to improve their reading comprehension, or just want to listen to their documents read aloud. This program reads text aloud to the user and can highlight each word as it reads.  For users who wish to listen to their documents on CD, iPod, or other media, TypeIt ReadIt can convert text to a spoken sound file by using its text-to-speech technology. TypeIt ReadIt is also useful alternative for young children’s typing lessons instead of confusing word processors.
