Text to Speech software?

[LTxda]

Does anyone know of a text to speech software for Windows Mobile 5/6? I'm looking for something that will read e-mail out loud.

Voice Command 1.6 will read email headers.

Thanks. I have VC1.6. I'm looking for something that will read the e-mail body to me while I'm driving.

As a follow up to this, does anyone know of an application to read out text messages whilst driving along? Its not very safe when the popup comes on screen covering up Tomtom. :)

Try Fonix Voice Central 3.1. It reads out the body of the email messages.

I saw this one but didn't know if it would read the e-mail from within Outlook or if I had to copy/paste the words into a document. If you still have it installed, could you let me know if you can tell it to read an e-mail from within Outlook? At the very least, open a message when it arrives then this program reads the message after you instruct it to do so?

Thanks, this says it'll read the e-mail as it arrives and even allow me to reply or delete, etc. If you use it, do you know if it'll read over BlueTooth headset? If it will then It's most likely the perfect program and must have for the Athena.

I used an earlier version on the Blue Angel and it did what it said it would do. Not used it on the Ameo though.. But you can downlad a free trial and see if it works over BT.

Thanks. I've downloaded it but haven't had a chance to test it out yet.

I had been looking for something like this for some time. Well, thanks to this thread I have downloaded and tried it. Conclusion: very useful, though could be improved.

1. Voice quality is not very good.
2. Reads the emails and very accurate.
3. Functionally quite rich - though I have only tried reading emails as this is what I was after.

However, I havnt figured out how to read emails as and when they arrive. I seems tha I have to start the application to read the emails. If anyone has any ideas, please share them. Thanks
