Multitasking is the foundation of modern operating systems. It allows multiple processes to run in parallel, making it possible to use several apps at the same time. As a result, windowed interfaces have become a key feature in computing, enabling users to display multiple documents side by side.
Many productivity apps, such as text editors, image editors, video editors, and music editors, embrace this principle by allowing multiple instances of content to be opened simultaneously. However, most text-to-speech (TTS) applications, including popular options like Speechify, Voice Dream, and NaturalReader, still limit users to a single document at a time.
The Need for Multi-Window TTS
Whether you’re a student studying multiple sources, a researcher comparing different reports, or a professional working with various reference materials, being able to switch seamlessly between different texts in a TTS app can be a game-changer.
This is where Speech Central stands out. It is one of the rare text-to-speech apps that fully supports multiple document windows on Mac and iPad. This means users can listen to different documents side by side, effortlessly switching between them without interruption.
How Multi-Window TTS Works
Speech Central’s implementation of multi-window support ensures an uninterrupted reading experience:
- When switching between windows, the TTS engine automatically pauses the previous document and starts playing the new one if the previous session was active.
- Users can open multiple files such as PDFs, ePubs, Microsoft Word documents, and web articles at the same time.
- It enables a side-by-side reading experience, ideal for reference comparisons, learning, and research.
How to Open Multiple Windows in Speech Central
Using multi-window text-to-speech in Speech Central is straightforward:
- Open a document in Speech Central.
- Right-click (or tap and hold on iPad) on a document tab.
- Select “Open in New Window”.
Now, you can experience seamless multitasking with TTS!
