Welcome to Speak & See

Welcome to Speak & See. Speak & See is designed to help you learn

to understand spoken English, read English websites and documents, and write English.

Speak & See will work with any application or software program on

your PC. The highly-visible Speak & See Toolbar can be locked in

one place, docked to the top of the screen or can be left to float

around the screen as suits you best.

Speak & See Overview

Speak & See provides an easily-readable floating toolbar that will

lock onto any Windows software application you have open and

active. You can easily add or remove buttons from this toolbar. The

full list of buttons is described in the next section.

The speech features of Speak & See are powerful. One of the key

benefits of Speak & See is that it can read back menus, button texts

and tooltips, as well as any text displayed on screen. The program

will also instantly read back any text that you select using your

mouse. It will also read back characters, words and sentences as they are typed.

~ 5 ~

Speak & See Toolbar

Speak & See Toolbar Buttons

The Speak & See Toolbar has a number of clear buttons to control

various features. Buttons that you don't want to use regularly can

easily be removed from the toolbar, by simply clicking on the Settings button, and changing the View Settings.

Play and Stop Buttons

To read Microsoft Word documents click your mouse pointer

to where you want to start reading from. Click the green Play

button to start to read back text from any Microsoft Word document using the pre-selected text-to-speech voice.

Click on Stop to halt the text read back. Clicking the mouse

will also stop the reading.

By clicking on the Advanced Speech Settings button you can choose

to highlight in Microsoft Word the words or sentences as they are spoken, as well as control the style of speaking.

In other (non-Word) software applications such as web pages, e-

mails etc. all you need to do is highlight (select) the text you would

like read back by using your mouse. When you have finished

~ 6 ~

selecting, it will read the text back immediately. You can also press the green Play button to replay the text.

Homophones Button

When working in Microsoft Word, click your mouse pointer

somewhere within the paragraph you would like to check for

homophones. Clicking the Homophone Button will highlight all the

homophones in that paragraph. Homophones are words that sound

alike but are different in spelling, meaning or origin. An example of a pair of homophones is blew and blue.

Check Button

Speak & See contains an integrated word and document checking

Feature. We have concentrated on bringing together the Word spell

checker, thesaurus and a separate homophone checker into one simple Check Button.

Save Button

It is possible to convert the text in an open Microsoft Word

document or web page into an audio file to save on your computer.

The save to audio function can also be easily accessed from the toolbar and within Speech Settings.

~ 7 ~

Extras Button

The Extras button provides a handy link allowing you to expand the

software with additional content.

Settings Button

The Settings Button brings up the Settings Menu featuring the main

setting areas: Speech, View, Prediction, Check and Scan (Plus version only).

Moving and Docking the Speak & See

Toolbar

Lock Toolbar to Active Window

The Speak & See Toolbar locks onto the current active Window, and

will move around as you change the applications that you are working in by default.

Floating Toolbar

You may want the toolbar to "float" so that you can move it around

the PC screen as you need. This can be changed in the View

Settings menu. Simply uncheck the "Lock Toolbar to active window" check box.

Dock Toolbar to the top of the screen

You can dock the floating toolbar at the top of the screen. To do

this, first you need to set the Speak & See Toolbar to float, by

unselecting the following box in the View Settings menu.

Once in floating mode, click on the title bar above Speak & See and drag it to the top of the screen.

~ 9 ~

Drag it down to make it float again.

Minimise Toolbar

You can remove the Speak & See Toolbar completely by

"minimising" the Toolbar, but still have many of the speech and

prediction features working for you (if enabled).

To minimise, first you need to set the Speak & See Toolbar to float, by unselecting the following box in the View Settings menu.

When the Toolbar is in "floating" mode, a minimise window button

will appear (circled below). Click this and the Speak & See Toolbar

will disappear. However, advanced speech features such as Speak When Mouse Selects, will still work.

~ 10 ~

Speak & See will still be running, and confirmation of this is the

small Speak & See icon sitting in the System Tray near to your clock, usually on the bottom right hand of your PC screen.

If you click the left mouse button on the Speak & See icon, the

Toolbar will reappear. Another way to minimise the Toolbar is the click the right mouse button on the Speak & See system tray icon.

If you start Speak & See but cannot see the Toolbar, check to see if

the icon is in the System Tray. If it is, then left click it with the mouse and the Speak & See Toolbar will become active.

Speech Features

Speak & See's ability to make the computer talk is one of its key

innovative features. Speak & See uses ScanSoft's Realspeak voices,

which are high quality, human synthesised voices. Speak & See may

also work with any other text to speech synthesiser voices that may

be installed on your computer.

With Speak & See you have the following extensive range of speech

facilities:

your computer in most applications. Great for positive

confirmation that you have typed what you wanted to!

Automatically hear many menu items, tooltips and "objects"

spoken by hovering the mouse over the item.

listening to later on your PC. Or you could transfer the audio

files from your computer to a portable device. (Using

separate portable audio player software).

At any time you can stop the computer talking by pressing

the key or clicking the mouse button.

Many of these speaking features can be turned off if they are not

helpful to you using the Speech Settings and Advanced Speech

Settings screens.

Microsoft Word which will check your words or documents for

spelling, offer meanings, dictionary definitions, alternatives and identify homophones with their meanings.

The Check feature makes the checking of your text and documents

Text To Speech Pronounce

Whilst the Realspeak Voices are incredibly accurate, there are times

when it doesn't pronounce things quite as you like. These could be,

for example, names of people or place names. Hence we built a tool

to modify the voice to pronounce something the way you want. You

can do this by taking a "sounds like" approach.

To make a pronunciation list addition, type in the word you want to

change the pronunciation of in the "Word to Replace" box. Pressing

the Test Button allows you to hear how the selected voice pronounces the word.

box. You can test the new pronunciation by pressing the Test Button

prior to adding. You can use single words or phrases. Once you are

happy that it sounds acceptable, press the Add/Replace Button to

add it to the pronunciation list. Whenever the original text is seen it will be pronounced according to your replacement text.

Save Text to Audio Files

Speak & See lets you save the text in Microsoft Word documents

and text from any application selected and copied to the Windows

clipboard to audio (sound) files. The Save to Audio file formats are

WMA, WAV and Ogg.
