Can YellowBridge Talker read non-Chinese text?
Although the primary purpose of YellowBridge Talker is to read Chinese text, its unique ability to read text from any web page can also be used to read non-Chinese text if the necessary voices are available on your computer. The necessary voices must be compatible with Microsoft SAPI 5 standard. YellowBridge Talker is only shipped with the Chinese voice but if you are running the US version of Windows XP, you already have at least one American English voice (Microsoft Sam). Voices in other local languages may be available in version of Windows sold in other countires.

Otherwise it will use the current default voice for your computer. You can change the current default voice as follows: • Click on Start->Control Panel->Classic View->Speech. • Click on the Text-to-Speech tab. • Choose the desired voi
