Text-To-Speech program

Speakonia

Text-To-Speech program

Our Rating: 3 stars (Good)

Speakonia is a Text-To-Speech (TTS) program that provides an easy-to-use interface, similar to Notepad. It reads aloud any text you type into the text area, a text file or the clipboard. The reading can be paused, resumed and exported to a wave file. In addition Speakonia is able to fetch webpages through an internal http interface and read them aloud for you (buggy - reads code aloud too). You can even have your emails read to you using the "Clipboard Reading" feature.

personal firewall 1

Filseclab Personal Firewall

Our Rating: 3.5 stars (Good!)

Filseclab Personal Firewall is a personal firewall that allows you to control which programs can access the Internet and at what times. It offers an automated rules wizard that will prompt you for action whenever an incoming or outgoing connection is detected, that does not match any of the existing rule sets. You can then choose to grant or deny access, and automatically create a rule for it. The firewall also allows you to create rules manually and supports rules for applications, intranet, network type and time. In addition to connection filtering, the program also offers browser independent web site access filtering, that allows you to block specified sites or limit access to a list of sites. Additional features include control of ICMP packets, traffic graph display, three security levels and more. The interface is a little small (and a little confusing), but overall, Filseclab Personal Firewall offers some good features.
