Cool Application of the Week: HAL9000 Speaks Spanish

This week, we learn to use your computer to communicate with anyone, in any language.

This week will focus on getting a message to someone. Traduzca al español (or, translate to Spanish).

Babelfish - Have you ever had the need to commicate to someone in another language, but had a tough time finding someone to help? Well click on Babelfish and have fun writing in German, Spanish, French, etc.

OK, now that we can speak, maybe we should hear. Yes I said hear. Did you know that with the right equipment you can have your computer read to you almost any text? In Windows you can use Narrator (Click on accessories, and then accessiblity) to listen to the text you are reading. Just start it up and kick the tires. It's like a HAL9000 in your computer, Dave.
