Question
Hello, i was wondering if you could supply me with a name of a software that can read PDF files. I found a couple of software but all of them have these uncomfortable narrators voice pitch, so is there a software that can read in a quite well manner ?

Thank You

Answer
do a google search on the prase 'text to speech'  this will yield many systems that do this.  they all have a different accent and sound so you will have to try them all.  Many of them have web based testing - so you type a sentence into the web page and then you can hear how it sounds.  check it out.

Expertise

I can answer questions about speech recognition and natural language understanding. I am particulary strong in knowedge based natural langauge techniques. I cannot answer questions about robotics, nueral nets, prolog, or vision recognition - just speech and natural language.

Experience

I have spent 25 years developing natural language software products. I have never developed speech systems, but I have developed sophisticated interfaces from natural language to speech. I have been working with speech recognition systems also for 25 years.
