HYPERNEXT TALKER V1.0 HyperNext Talker(HT) is an easy to use 'Text to Speech' application for Windows/Macintosh desktop/laptop computers that can help you have a conversation even if you have aphasia or other speech difficulties. It requires that you can use a keyboard to enter text and a mouse to press on-screeen buttons. Unlike other 'Text to Speech' apps HyperNext Talker helps you talk in real time by letting you set up a scenario before hand. For instance if you are phoning the doctor you could set up your introduction, name and then likely answers you would be expected to give. Each scenario has ten quick action buttons and ten preset text areas so you can talk in real time in many situations. The quick action buttons can be named and have their associated text. For instance, name 'Hello' and text 'Hello my name is ....' The preset text areas allow you to place descriptions, explanations and longer peices of text. There is also a text area where you could type in real time and just press the 'speak now' button. FEATURES - ten customisable scenario windows - on exit automatically saves user texts/settings - login feature for privacy - select computer voice and change volume/rate - change names of scenarios - customise colors of each scenario - customise quick action buttons - backup or export to other users (full version) - reload or import from other users (full version) GETTING STARTED 1) Run HyperNext Talker and it will start at it's 'Login' window. No password is needed until you set one. 2) Press the 'Login' button to go to the 'Start' window. The 'Start' window allows you to access all areas of HT such as the Scenarios, custom settings, password change and more. 3) Press the scenario 'Vet' button and it will take you to the 'Vet' scenario. Note, at the top of most windows are navigation buttons to help you quickly switch windows. 4) In the 'Vet' scenario you can try out the various buttons, add some of your own text, or just play around with HT. In real use you would probably have customised the quick-action buttons and set up the computer voice along with its volume and rate. 5) When you want to quit HT just use the 'Quit' option from the menu or one of the Quit buttons. HT will automatically save all your texts, customs colors and other settings so they will be ready next time you start it. REGISTERING HYPERNEXT TALKER If you like HyperNext Talker then you could register(buy) the full version and remove the trial limiations.

Also the Export/Import functions only work in the Registered version as they need the User-Code in their encryption scheme.
