You can set up to five different voices and you can switch from one to another on the fly.
There is also an undocumented feature which allows you to put tags into the text of a document that will cause GhostReader to switch to a particular voice as it reads. In this way, for instance, you can have a different voice for each character in a play. GhostReader has controls for: Play, Pause/Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Jump to beginning of sentence, Skip sentence, Jump to beginning of paragraph, Skip paragraph, Read Selected Text, and Close Reader Window. You can use GhostReader to read any document in real time, or have the document turned into a sound file or iTunes track. For anyone purchasing Infovox iVox voices, GhostReader can be added to the purchase for an extra €10 making it a very worthwhile purchase. The GhostReader keyboard shortcuts are system wide, so you can control GhostReader from within another application. This is particularly useful if you are using GhostReader to read instructions on how to do something in another application. I always advise people who are buying Infovox iVox voices to buy GhostReader at the same time, the extra €10 are very well spent.
