Talking Word Processor

Talking Word Processor is an easy-to-use, fully-functional word processor with text-to-speech capability. It's compatible with all standard word processor files including the latest versions of Microsoft Word, standard text, and Rich Text Formats.

If you are learning word processing, are a learner who can benefit from reading and writing tools, or someone who just wants to be more efficient, you will find the powerful features of the Talking Word Processor to be a tremendous aid to build your literacy and efficiency skills quickly.

Create and edit Microsoft Word documents without having to purchase Microsoft Word. The Talking Word Processor has many of the same features that you will find in Microsoft Word, but without the price.

Proofread and learn by listening. The Talking Word Processor will read virtually any document on your computer. You can even cut and paste from the Internet. You will be surprised to see how many more errors you catch with your ears.

To use the built-in 250,000-word dictionary, just double-click on a word and the definition of that word will open. Try to do that in Word Perfect or Microsoft Word. This dictionary could not be easier.

Writing Analytics
The writing analyzer processes the written content and provides specific information regarding the grade level and readability level. The analyzer also determines if any words have been used repeatedly as well as the number of times the words may have been repeated. The analytic tool will highlight every occurrence of repeated words and the talking thesaurus included in Talking Word Processor can assist the user in selecting alternative words.

Writing Options
Writing options allow you to select the features you want to use--like underlining misspelled words in red, autocorrecting text, displaying suggested words for misspelled words as you type and displaying confusable words that were used in your document.

Talking Word Prediction
Prediction of words can significantly help those who struggle with writing and grammar whether it's due to general literacy challenges, physical or cognitive challenges or even English as a Second Language.

Navigate through the prediction list and hear each word being read to you. Simply select from the list the word you want inserted into your document. The prediction list can be tailored to your specific needs by adding frequently used terms, proper names or specialized terminology (e.g., legal, medical terms). You can also modify the number of characters required to trigger the appearance of the prediction list, specify the size of the list displayed, and specify up to four different vocabulary grade levels.

Highlight and Extract
As a study aid, you can select and highlight text within your document to emphasize key points. Highlighted text can then be extracted into a separate document to be used as condensed study notes for quizzes or tests.

Integrated Dictionary
The 250,000 word integrated talking dictionary lets you look up and read the definition of a word in your document by simply double-clicking on it.
