ReadTheWords.com is a free, web based service that assists people with written material. This is done by using TTS Technology, or Text To Speech Technology. Users of our service can generate a clear sounding audio file from almost any written material. A voice is generated that reads the words out loud, that you request it to read.

Text to Speech technology is the ability to turn text information into clear sounding, speech. While the concept has existed since the early 1930’s, only until very recently has ReadTheWords.com, and their partners, made huge breakthroughs in the quality of this technology.

What can you read?

“We provide users various ways to let us know what to read. You can always write text, or copy text from another file, and paste it into our text box. We also have a file upload section, where you can upload any Microsoft office document, Adobe PDF, txt, and HTML document. You can also tell us a website address, or RSS feed url, and we can read that as well”.

    I had to pay 20 bucks/monthfor this kind of service a year ago. I really want to find out whether it is the same quality or not and I really hope so…
