Review:

News Aloud is nothing more than a nuisance; it’s not a helpful piece of software. Its main aim is suppose to gather interesting articles from places like Reuters and Yahoo. It is suppose to be bringing you the latest news items from different areas of the news, but in essence all you really get is the business news with one or two scientific and crime items thrown in to mix it up a bit. Supposedly a human voice can read you the news aloud but to be honest after listening to this voice that reads, it sounds more like a computer generated voice, or more like an alien communicating with planet Earth.

It’s very easy to use all it takes is a few clicks from the mouse to start gathering the news stories; there is no option for collecting particular areas that you find of interest. So it very much just collects and gathers a lot of business news, which is not something that everyone is going to be interest in and after 5 minutes of listening to that little alien voice, all you really want is a pair of good ear plugs to mute that awful voice.

Conclusion:

I would not recommend this software, whatever it cost them to make it was too much for this piece of garbage
