Hi Roger, There is just a remote chance that setting your System Date to a date and time BEFORE the demo would have expired may do the trick. Make sure you re-boot after resetting it, to ensure the Registry re-loads. However, it's a wrinkle most companies with timed evaluations have overcome, hence no guarantees.

I downloaded a trial version of TextAloud but didn't use it until after the trial period had expired. Now I can't get another one to see if I can use it as a memory has remained in my system to stop this happening. I downloaded Verbose but for some reason I just cannot get it to speak to me. I emailed their support but they won't speak to me either. Does anyone have any other options on this type of software, please? I am moving into scanning printed books and want to have software to speak and record to a MP3 disc to enable me to listen in a more comfortable environment. So far I'm not very successful so your help would be most appreciated. My hearing loss means I have to try the voices to check if I can understand them before buying otherwise it could be money wasted. Roger Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once. ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq
