-
- This program is a simplified version of WreadFiles51, a vocal text file
- reader (unreleased). The large, built-in, USA translation enhancement
- library (about 250 K-bytes) has been removed. The huge !USA.accent with
- translator 43 will restore most of the functionality of the removed code.
- This program is intended for primary use as a general file or book-length
- ASCII ETEXT reader. It is not intended to be a 'SAY' program.
-
- This program parses text into sentences for more natural reading. This
- version of the basic WreadFiles program engine (cf. WreadFiles47) adds:
-
- (a.) A decade graduated File Position Indicator that may be used to select
- the reading point in the text with a shift-mouse click, and
-
- (b.) Icon tooltype support for selection of the default Translator42 or
- Translator43 accent for the program as well as the selection of specific
- accents for given files.
-
- The Translator.library and Narrator.device are required. The 2.04
- versions are recommended. Translator43 is recommended. 1 Meg or more ram
- is recommended. A 68020 or better processor is recommended for the
- !USA.accent. See SWread_020.lha or SWread_040.lha for fast processor
- versions.
