CoolSpeech5.0 Build 2222

Technology is constantly evolving and you can see this in the various input methods you use to interact with devices, such as your computer. Feedback is also getting closer to benefiting from artificial intelligence, not only through text, but also through speech. A suitable example is CoolSpeech, putting the right means at your disposal to have text, news and emails read to you with little to no effort on your behalf.

Simple and intuitive interface

As soon as the main window is up, you can go ahead and experiment with a few TXT files to get a general idea of what can be accomplished. This is easily done by dragging it over the main window, which is cleverly organized, with a center text input area, side panel for scheduled tasks, as well as an upper toolbar fitted with controls and several other functions.The basic principle on which the application functions is to read nearly every bit of text you throw at it and a little more. There are a few methods to accomplish this, the easiest being to write down text and hitting the “Play button”. There is even a decent amount of different male and female voices to choose from, some more accurate and fluent than others.

Have news and mails read to you

What really sets it apart from others of its kind is the variety of activities you can schedule. What's more, the overall process of scheduling a task is easy enough to let anyone try it out. As such, a small window lets you specify the title, frequency, time and date, as well as source.Picking a target file or source to read from benefits from several different options. You can choose a HTML, RTF or TXT file for the application to automatically process, paste in a URL so content or even news feeds to be delivered through audio feedback, or even fill in credentials to your POP3 mail server to know when and what new mails you received.

To sum it up

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that CoolSpeech is indeed cool. It reaches this level through a simple interface that lets anyone try out its features, as well as simplicity and variety of sources it can use to deliver audio feedback, with multiple types of voices, clever system tray minimization and automatic trigger, making for an application worth at least a try.
