Talking Box Pro is a powerful freeware assistant that includes Microsoft Agent Technology. While sitting in your tray, Talking box can read any text in any window: simply select the text you want to be read and copy it into clipboard. Talking box will automatically start reading it. In addition to this, Talking Box will check your mailbox and alert you with a 'talking' message if you have new mail. Also, you may use it as a talking clock (it will say date and time at predefined intervals) or as an unlimited talking reminder: when "alarm time" fires, Talking box will read a custom message. Plus, it may greet you with a customizable talking message every time you start your PC.
