Ace Buddy
Give Your Eyes a Break
Between emails, blogs, Google News, eBooks, Microsoft Word, RSS feeds, Wikipedia, and all those other texts that one must access via the computer, reading from a monitor can become quite an unpleasant strain on the old baby blues.
Wouldn't it be great if you had a personal assistant with the sole task of reading these documents aloud?
Meet Ace Buddy.
Ace Buddy is an application that will recite back any highlighted text. You can select different speeds and volumes, and choose from any of 27 different characters and voices.
The whole process is conducted through Ace Buddy's simple Winamp-style interface that rests at the bottom of your screen near the taskbar clock.
Ace Buddy also features a scrolling marquee balloon that appears above the "speaker" avatar and displays the text that is being read. Great for kids to practice their reading skills!
