Panopreter

Panopreter is a text-to-speech and text-to-MP3 software program for Windows users. Suitable for individuals who are visually impaired or have a learning disability, Panopreter can read text, TXT files, RFT files, PDF files, web pages, and Microsoft Word documents aloud in a natural-sounding voice, as well as text copied to the Windows clipboard from any other software window. Users can also use Panopreter to convert text to MP3 and wav audio files and listen to the audio with a portable MP3 player later at their convenience. This software includes a toolbar for Internet Explorer, which will read the text on the web page and convert the text to MP3 and wav audio files, as well as an add-in for Microsoft Word, which will read the Word document aloud and save the spoken speech as audio files. Panopreter supports various languages and voices (e.g., English, Spanish, and Portuguese), Unicode fonts, as well as batch file conversion. It highlights the word or sentence as it is being read, and plays music when it finishes reading the text. With Panopreter, users can adjust the audio file's sample rate and bit rate, and customize the interface layout, volume, voice speed and pitch, text font size, text color, window color, and toolbar positions.
