BookBuddi is a useful study aid, since you can look at the picture while its explanation is read to you. It allows you to repeat or goto a sentence while reading. (by selecting it with the mouse). By re-reading and repetition, you learn and understand! (saves your eyes, not your ears).

This software uses the Microsoft Text to Speech Agent Characters or real mp3 audio (see BookBuddi website for more languages and Agent Characters) to read back books or documents stored in *.bkk files. These files are created by this software, after copy-paste from other applications or scanner+OCR. The bookbuddi ebook consists of multiple pages or topics, each with its own optional picture (left pane) or text (right pane), that when read, highlights the current position and automatically changes to the next page. The separate scroll means that the picture stays visible at all times as you scroll the text. (real books can't do that, they require page flipping or a 2nd book).

Also Readbudd, copy-paste web pages and other documents to read aloud.
