Speak uses Microsoft Agent-animated characters to read text to you.
You can read documents, email, Web pages, or any text in the Clipboard. Just keep the animated character on top and click it whenever you want it to read to you.
You can control the speed and pitch and enjoy many characters with different expressions and animation.
