Finally, a screen reader that will read me fanfic

[mhalachaiswords]

Someone on tumblr connected me with Capti Narrator for listening to fanfics that haven't been podcasted - and oh dear lord it's the best screen-reader software I've ever encountered. It's free with a few default voices, then you can buy other voices that are more developed/natural.  I bought a voice from Ivona - Joey (US), and I've been listening

Oh cool! Thanks for the rec. Admittedly I don't listen to a lot since usually text-to-speech tends to be kind of scarily robotic :)

that's one of the nice things about Capti is that some of the voices are more natural (of course, you gotta pay for those voices, so that's the trade-off). I'm so fascinated by how this technology is developing :)

I did not know that existed. Thanks! Like you I read much faster than that, so it never takes me as long to finish reading something as it does to listen to it. But sometimes I like listening.
