Introduction
With advancing technologies comes advanced productivity in the workplace.
One such techonology that is not frequently used is text-to-speech in all programs including Outlook.
However, this is not the case with Avar and as has been the case since 1982, Avar have used up to date technologies and advanced it even further.
This is particularly useful for Ash, who’s progression in Ataxia is beggining to show up in the reduction of muscular control of his voice.
Thank god he speaks less than before but every word is meaningful and adds to the bottom line!
Therefore, demand is high for Ash’s brain power to solve problems.
Outlook makes listening possible by using the text-to-speech (TTS) ability of your device to play back written text as spoken words.
Benefits of Text to Speech Emails
There are many reasons to listen to an email, for example:
- proofreading – eliminating errors and using concise sentences.
