Panopreter reads text file, rtf file, word document and web page in .htm format, it can read in English, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese and more, provided such Text-To-Speech voice engines have been installed on your computer.

Panopreter converts the files into audio files with the format of wave and MP3. So you can hear your files with your audio media player, you don't need to sit at the desk, with your eyes fixed on the computer's screen any longer.

Panopreter is also a good aid to any language learning program. You install the Text-To-Speech voices for the specific language, then you can hear the files being read for you.

Because Panopreter reads with Microsoft voice installed on your computer by default, when you like to listen to other voices, you need to install the corresponding Text-To-Speech voice engine on the computer.

And Windows XP users are recommended to install a third party voice to get a better reading, for the default voice engine on the Windows XP isn't as clear as that on the Windows Vista.
