Contents [] Overview A screenshot of Speakonia Speakonia itself is fairly simple to use for the average user, regardless of its skill level. The graphical user interface is similar to Notepad, in a technical way. A user simply has to type what they want the voice to say, and when they click the button that looks like a play button, the selected text-to-speech voice will read it. The user can change the voice at any time by going to the drop-down menu labeled Voice under the Speech Properties, and selecting another voice.

The Menu Bar is mostly for working with saving and exporting files, as well as registering the program. It is not the main focus of the program.
