Lastest update : 07/01/2002

WHAT IS 2ND SPEECH CENTER?
==========================
2nd Speech Center lets you listen to text instead of reading on screen! It uses 'Text to Speech' technology to synthesize natural sounding speech from ordinary text. Just copy text to the clipboard or import from text files and listen as 2nd Speech Center reads it back to you!

2nd Speech Center also allows you to convert text into a MP3/WAV audio file so you can listen later. Create MP3 files from your email, news articles, any text you want, download to your portable MP3 player and off you go!
