There are two versions of the ReadPlease application, a Free and a paid Plus version, and both of them do the same thing: they read out loud the text you feed them. Take a piece of text, copy and paste it into the application’s interface, and it will read it out loud to you.

Download a 10.3MB executable, run it, and you will be presented with a setup wizard that lets you install both ReadPlease editions on your Windows-powered machine. It’s all a very simple process that will take little of your time. When you’re done, you will see a ReadPlease Free and ReadPlease Plus shortcut on your desktop – assuming, of course, that you did not uncheck the option to create a desktop shortcut.

Right in the middle of ReadPlease’s interface, there are instructions on how to use the application. To the left you will see the Play, Pause, and Stop buttons, while to the right you will see sliders to adjust the reading speed and font size. Use the arrows in the bottom right hand side to switch from different voices.

Using ReadPlease is incredibly simple. All you have to do is take a piece of text and paste it into the application’s interface. What you have to do next is choose one of the available voices, and then hit the Play button from the upper left hand corner. ReadPlease will start reading out loud whatever text you paste into its interface. Of course, you can type in manually the text you want to be read out loud.

As mentioned above, there are two ReadPlease editions: ReadPlease Free and ReadPlease Plus. The paid Plus edition is free to try for a period of 30 days.

Just type or paste a piece of text into ReadPlease and the application will read it out loud to you.

Pros

Download a 10MB executable and install both ReadPlease editions. Instructions on how to use the application are presented on its interface. There are several voices to choose from. Type or paste a piece of text and ReadPlease will read it out loud.

Cons

The voices do not sound very natural.
