TypeIt ReadIt - Free Text to Speech Software for Windows and Mac



TypeIt ReadIt is 100% free to download and use. TypeIt ReadIt can read text to the user. It was originally designed to help a visually impaired person type and listen to text.

TypeIt ReadIt can help users who are visually impaired, cannot read, desire to improve their reading comprehension, listen to how words are pronounced, or just want to listen to their documents read aloud. TypeIt ReadIt can convert text to a spoken sound file by using text-to-speech technology. TypeIt ReadIt uses text-to-speech voices installed in the computer. Any language voice can be used.

Mac and Windows can download additional text-to-speech voices.

Also, TypeIt ReadIt is useful for young children’s typing lessons.

Note: The Mac version has more features than the Windows version.
