Agent Screen Reader

Agent Screen Reader is a small software application that features text-to-speech capabilities for helping you hear the text pointed by your mouse cursor being spoken aloud.

The advantages of being portable

This is a portable program, and it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.
You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to convert all written commands from your screen to speech on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

Unobtrusive running mode

Agent Screen Reader runs quietly in the system tray until called upon when it reveals several configuration settings to tinker with. In order to access the program’s features you need to perform a right-click mouse operation on its icon from the system tray.
By default, the text-to-speech mode is activated when you run the utility, so you can easily start exploring the text displayed on your desktop. You can point your mouse cursor to a specific text area, or simply select the text that you want to be processed automatically.

Configuration settings

Agent Screen Reader gives you the possibility to play or pause the rendering process, assign hotkeys for making the utility read the clipboard content and play or stop the reading mode, as well as pick the desired voice from several preset options.
What’s more, you are allowed to alter the voice rate and volume, perform tests to check out the audio quality, read the text stored within the clipboard, automatically read the clipboard content when it’s changed, as well as render a user-defined text message.

Bottom line

All in all, Agent Screen Reader comes packed with some handy audio parameters for helping you read the text displayed on your screen, and provides very good audio quality.
