Often, text to speech software is a dialog with a small text area. In River Past Talkative, the text editing area is large and resizable, and the buttons are obvious and readily accessible.
You even get all the features to edit RTF files, with options to set font, size, bold, italic, underline, and paragraph alignment.
Speed
River Past Talkative features one of the fastest encoding engines, whether you are writing to WAV, MP3, WMA, or AVI. Often, it takes only a couple of seconds. For the lengthier documents, an accurate and clear progress dialog will give you the time estimate, so you can have a coffee and come back.
Output Flexibility
Most text-to-speech software allows you to export to WAV files. Few support MP3 files. River Past Talkative not only writes to WAV and MP3, but also WMA and audio-only AVI.
Export to WMA for internet streaming, or upload to your portable audio player.
Export to audio-only AVI so you can use it in your favorite video editing software, whether it is on Windows, MacOS, or Linux.
