Text to Speech has Other Uses
by Richard Roseen on Wednesday 24/Jul/2002, @16:48

Text to speech has uses other than sight impairment computer access.

In my profession I do a lot of writing in which it is important to write with accurate spelling and grammar.

They are several computer aided methods to proofread for spelling and grammar such as grammar and spell checkers, online dictionaries and thesaur and reviewing by reading the screen. There are also, the traditional proofreading modes via printing out the draft and reading or reading the printed draft out loud.

Therefore, text to speech provides a means to save paper and have the computer read the draft out loud. Of course, when someone other than the author reads the draft out loud or not even more errors are noticed. Thus, the computer with text to speech provides this person other than the author.
