One thought on “Sensory Readable Suite V3 for Windows Secure (.EXE Installer)”

• Capabilities introduced for the first time in version 3.

  Readable Banner
  A scrolling reading display that shows the text being spoken with the current word highlighted, set within a small window of the words just read and the words coming up. The reader chooses the font, size, colour, spacing, scroll behaviour and how many words are shown at once.

  Word Information popup (Ctrl+Shift)
  Holding Ctrl+Shift and hovering over a word shows an instant popup with its definition, pronunciation and related entries, drawn from a built-in offline dictionary of more than 147,000 words. In v3 this works in any Windows application — Word, browsers, PDFs, email — and even over text inside images or locked PDFs, which it recognises first using on-screen text recognition.

  Sensory Prediction
  v3 adds Sensory’s own word-prediction option as an alternative to the default Microsoft (Windows) prediction. Writ

  Sensory Fonts
  A set of six reading fonts is now included and can be applied to supported reading and writing views, selectable as part of the font and spacing options.

  Read to End shortcut (Ctrl+Space)
  A new keyboard shortcut that starts reading from the cursor and continues to the end of the document, giving a quick keyboard alternative to clicking Play.

  Small Toolbar
  A compact version of the Readable toolbar, taking up less screen space while keeping every button accessible.

  PDF Convert 2 (in the v3 Suite)
  The Sensory Readable v3 Suite includes the upgraded Sensory PDF Convert 2. It brings pages in three ways — scanning, opening an image (JPEG, PNG, BMP, TIFF), or opening an existing PDF — runs automatic OCR on each page, and saves to four formats: Accessible PDF, Plain Text, Rich Text (RTF) or Word document (DOCX).

  Improved in v3
  Features that existed in v2.5 and are now significantly better or broader.

  Save to Audio (MP3)
  Saving spoken text as an audio file is substantially improved in v3. The audio is recorded at a noticeably higher resolution, and you can now select any text and save it — either from the clipboard or directly from Microsoft Word. In v2.5 this was available only from within Word.

  Hover reading across applications
  The hover reading modes now work across virtually any application on screen, reading text under the pointer even where it cannot be selected, by recognising the text on screen. In v2.5 hover reading limited to where it could operate based on accessible text provided by the underlying application.

  More voices in v3
  v3 takes an offline-first approach to voices and expands the range that installs on the PC. There are two families: high-quality Natural Voices from Microsoft, and Sensory’s own offline Sensory voices.

  Natural Voices
  Sonia and Ryan (UK) carry over from v2.5 along with five further Natural Voices: Guy, Jenny and Aria in American English, and Neerja and Prabhat in Indian English. These are high-quality voices suited to readers who want clear, natural-sounding speech in a particular accent.

  Sensory voices (offline, UK & Irish)
  v3 also adds a set of twelve offline Sensory voices in UK and Irish accents — Florence, Jenny, Gabriel, Estella, Ophelia, Alba, Elias, Sterling, Beryl, Albert, Elowen and Alistair — broadening regional accent choice across England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and Ireland. Because they run offline, they work without an internet connection, which is helpful in exam settings and on managed or restricted networks.
