FMReader

FMReader, now available in its latest version 5.2.2808, is a versatile tabbed browser specifically designed under the Internet & Network category, and more precisely, under the Browsers subcategory. This unique software, developed by Fred Moore, boasts a wide range of features that elevate it above conventional browsers.

One standout aspect of FMReader is its ability to read web pages out loud, which transforms any browsing session into a hands-free experience. Users can now listen to content from web pages such as USA Today or the Wall Street Journal like a radio station. The program supports various file names including FMReader.exe, reader.exe, and reader1.exe, making it easy to identify and run.

FMReader proves to be highly adaptable, working seamlessly with Windows 7, 10, and 11. It also retains compatibility with older versions, such as 5.2, and 5.0. The browser’s popup ad blocking feature significantly enhances the user experience, ensuring uninterrupted reading sessions. Additionally, users can save web pages as MP3 files, enabling them to listen to the web on the go.

Another strong point of FMReader is its educational value. The program can teach basic reading skills and correct pronunciation, which is particularly useful for both children and adults. In a similar vein, it serves as a valuable tool for the visually-impaired by turning text into sound, allowing them to explore the internet through audio.

One can also utilize FMReader as a reading tool compatible with Internet Explorer. By simply clicking the 'Read' button on the toolbar or Tools menu, FMReader will take over, letting users browse other pages simultaneously.

Pros:

• Extensive tabbed browsing capabilities.
• Reads web pages out loud and saves them as MP3 files.
• Compatibility with multiple Windows OS versions.
• Educational features for improving literacy.
• Effective popup ad blocking.

Cons:

• Requires Microsoft Word for some features.
