Most mornings I have a hard time concentrating. Reading the forum with good reading comprehension can be impossible at times. For days like that I use a text-to-speech program that reads out loud the text I copy to the clipboard. It does a half @ssed job, but I can understand it well enough. If I wasn't so cheap (and poor), I would buy a commercial program that reads with near human voice equivilent.
I use Ultra Hall Text-to-Speech Reader. I use the default free voice, Microsoft Anna or something like that, it's a bit robotic, but meh.. it's free. There are many other text-to-speech programs out there. If your interested a quick google search will have 1,000's of hits, but I use [DLMURL]http://www.download.com[/DLMURL] <--- link for my downloads. Be carefull if you download a program from a simple Google search. There are many bad programs out there with malware and trojans. That's why I use download.com. They screen the programs before they list them. That doesn't assure it's a good program, but your pretty safe from malware and such. I'm not endorsing download.com, nor Ultra Hal, I'm just explaining what I personaly use.
I post this because I know others may have reading comprehension problems at times and may benifit from a text to speech program. I also use it sometimes to screen my post before I hit the submit button. Hearing what I've written out before I hit the submit button sometimes highlights spelling and gramatical errors, bad sentence structure, etc.
