Fess up. Do you ever talk to yourself when you're at home all alone? Okay...even I occasionally do that. But...do you ever talk to your computer? Raise your hand if you do. Uh oh, this is worse than I thought.
Just kidding. Actually, if you do talk to your computer, there's no need to hang your head in shame. We all love to talk to (or occasionally cuss at) our computer and sometimes wish it would talk back.
Not to worry! There are ways to legitimately talk to your computer as well as have it talk to you. Here's how.
There's very cool software called "Dragon Naturally Speaking". It's a voice recognition program that allows you to speak commands and narrate text to your computer. Now that's POWER. But power doesn't come cheap. It was around $200 when I bought it, but the fun is worth it.
But, what about getting your computer to talk to you? There's a little program you can download from the net. Then, here's all you need to do. Highlight any text you see on your internet browser. Right click and select "speak text". Like magic, your computer will speak the highlighted text aloud from beginning to end!
So, when you want to give your eyes a rest, employ your own personal reader to pamper you. Oh, and last I checked, there's no charge for it!
