Review:

When I found the program I said ‘’Wow – finally I will be in touch in a few moments only!’’. Morning reading of the news sometimes takes you long time. With NewsAloud it seems to be easier and maybe funny. And it is. You can have fresh news from whole around the world just with one click. You can sort the news by categories. You can update them at any time.

But the best of this program is that you do not have to read all of the articles. A robot voice does it instead of you. Many people do not like ‘’the robot voice’’ of NewsAloud, maybe because they do not try all of the voice’s options. There is much different kind of voices and you can adjust their speed. And you will understand them easier. Great is that you can burn a CD with the news.

Actually the idea is very nice, but NewsAloud has and some weak sides. Never mind how I adjusted the voice’s speed – for me was very hard to understand everything what the robot said. The ‘’robot’’ makes and lot of grammar mistakes. There is an option how to repair them – but I think it is not your work. It is a work of the creators and they do not do it well. Hope there will be another version of News Aloud – a better one.

Conclusion:

The program is not ‘’the best’’, but can be only in your ‘’plus’’
