The Reading Mouse 1.2
The Reading Mouse uses Apple's MacinTalk(tm) text-to-speech synthesis
technology to read out loud ASCII text files of any size. You can use
it to read electronic mail messages, articles, web pages, or entire
books downloaded from the Internet because unlike SimpleText, there
is no 32K limitation on how large a file you can open. You can pause
the speech and resume it at any time, or skip easily from place to
place in the text. You can save your place as a "bookmark", and
return to the same position in the same document at a later time. The
Reading Mouse will even use face files compatible with it's little
sibling The Talking Mouse to create an on-screen animated character
which reads to you, lip-syncing the speech generated by MacinTalk.
Requires System 7.5, Speech Manager and PlainTalk installed, 800K RAM Minimum
