Speaking Notepad

Speaking Notepad is a small software application that features text editing features and text-to-speech capabilities.

You are welcomed by a clean feature lineup that allows you to type in the text message directly into the main panel or paste the information from the clipboard. You may import data from plain text file format.

Speaking Notepad gives you the possibility to simply press on a dedicated button for hearing the text being spoken aloud.

What’s more, you are allowed to print or save the text to plain text file format, undo or redo your actions, perform basic editing operations (cut, copy, paste, delete), look for words and replace them, and insert time/date stamps.

Last but not least, you can alter the text in terms of color, font, font style, and size, as well as check out the total number of words comprised in your document.

On the downside, Speaking Notepad doesn’t offer support for advanced features that could help you alter the volume and adjust the speed of speech.

Since it doesn’t offer support for many tweaking parameters, even less experienced users can make the most out of this program. Tests have shown that Speaking Notepad carries out a task pretty quickly and provides good audio quality. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not affected.

If you are looking for a straightforward text editor that provides support for text-to-speech capabilities, you may give Speaking Notepad a try and see what it can do for you.
