Sound can be helpful to describe what is being demonstrated in a video, to communicate proper pronunciation, and is particularly important to the visually impaired. In looking for a site that effectively uses audio I tried to stay away from the obvious. I looked for sites that used audio in a helpful way as opposed to using it as an enhancement or sales tool.
I found a very interesting Text-To-Speech site. This site claims it can read whatever is typed in its speech box in several different languages. Sites like this would be helpful for anyone needing to know how to pronounce a particular word in a foreign language or communicate an entire phrase. It would also be useful for someone who needs temporary help communicating. Someone who's jaw was wired shut for instance. The site is simple and easy to use and can quickly serve a very practical purpose.
There are 2 steps to the site: translating the text and speaking the translation. Try it yourself.
Copy the text below and follow the link.
Paste the text in the 'original text' box.
Choose a language from the drop down between the 2 boxes and click translate.
If a speaker appears next to the text box, the text can be spoken. (not every language has speech available for it)
Click on the speaker than click on 'say it'.
