Convert to audio any content on your screen

Among the program's main features a very outstanding thing is that it's compatible with all kinds of files (including PDFs and Flash files, for example), it's capable of reading progress bars, graphs and ASCII, and as well as offering the possibility to configure it to work with applications that don't offer native compatibility.

The program incorporates voice synthesizers in German, English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Finnish and Spanish. As well as all the latter, the installation and the entire configuration of JAWS can be carried out by voice, so that the user can be completely self-reliant while working on his/her computer.

Requirements and additional information:

  • The trial version can be used for 40 minutes.
