Word Talk V 4.2 offers text to audio

Word Talk is a free text to speech plug-in for Microsoft Word. It works within the tool bar of Microsoft Word. I have used eariler versions of Word Talk but just became aware of the new version 4.2 which allows text files to be converted to mp3 or wav files for playing on your portable media players. Yet another free tool to use!


Here's the link to download:

I have seen a small hand held electronic magnifier that could see a few lines of a newspaper column, and enlarge the image X3 and increase the contrast to a nice high contrast B/W. I need the contrast but would be happy with about 1.5X. 3X is much too much because the enlarged line exceeds the screen width.
Have you seen anthing that would do what I need?
