Holiday Gift Makes Students Smarter While Reading Less

Mendham, NJ (PRWeb) December 24, 2008 -- iSpeech.org, the Web's best text to speech solution, has setup an electronic holiday gift for last minute shoppers that is sure to put a smile on college students' faces. iSpeech makes it easy for anyone to listen to their class notes, readings, study guides and other online text.

Students can use iSpeech at any school or library computer lab without any installation. Traditional text to speech software is difficult to learn and costs double the price. iSpeech allows the conversion of up to 250 words to speech for free (http://www.iSpeech.org). iSpeech natural sounding voices makes it easy to listen to homework assignments and other course work. iSpeech sounds so realistic that it is like listening to someone read text aloud. Of course, iSpeech can be used anywhere on iPods, mobile phones or MP3 players.

Rutgers Focus Magazine recently featured iSpeech CEO, Heath Ahrens (http://news.rutgers.edu/focus/issue.2008-10-08.2633816065/article.2008-10-07.1817554138), who developed the idea behind iSpeech while attending the University. Many schools, including the Rutgers Business School, assign lengthy material that students must read and absorb. Many students are overwhelmed attempting to retain so much printed material. Ahrens says, "I first used the iSpeech technology on my commute to school while stuck in traffic." Through listening, he was able to master his coursework to graduate with a 4.0 GPA, which he directly attributes to iSpeech.
