Headlines To Speech is a lightweight and straightforward piece of software created specifically for devices running Windows 8.1 as an operating system, its main function being to read news titles aloud for you.

The application displays a very basic and unimpressive user interface, the main window of the program listing the latest events from various sources.

It also features two menus, specifically ‘Country’ and ‘Language’, from where you can define the rendering preferences, then press ‘Play’.

Headlines To Speech is able to gather news from countless states, such as USA, Australia, France, Belgium, Canada, Spain, UK, Germany, China, India, Poland, Switzerland, and several others.

Despite resorting to some of the most popular news agencies, (CNN, Reuters, Fox, Spiegel, Le Monde and many more), the utility does not allow you to only display headlines from a single source, nor can you add your own feed.

In terms of spoken languages, you can opt between English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and others. However, you cannot pick the Microsoft Voice, nor can you adjust the speech rate or volume.

If something sounds interesting to you, you can click on it and the full article will be displayed in your web browser, in split view. However, the contents of the web page cannot be read by Headlines To Speech. Similarly, if the program is not in focus, you will no longer be able to listen to the news.

Overall, Headlines To Speech is a handy program, yet seems quite limited in terms of functionality, and while it can prove useful, it requires additional work before it can compete with other TTS software available.
