In addition, 2nd Speech Center can monitor the Windows Clipboard and automatically process its contents.
2nd Speech Center comes packed with many useful and time-saving features like a talking alarm clock, talking reminder system, and powerful command line interface for advanced users. Internet Explorer users can access 2nd Speech Center functions from an integrated toolbar. And don't worry, the intuitive VCR style user interface is extremely easy to use.
