In order to rid myself of the subconscious addiction to western
cinema, I started watching a lot of movies from other countries,
especially Asian countries. 

Most of these films have subtitles submitted by fans - way much
cooler than voice-overs. The problem I have with reading subtitles
while in bed stems from the fact that I wear glasses... I am a
programmer so I decided to tackle the issue of subtitles-to-speech
once and for all. What luck, Vista has a better voice for the narrator!


1. The subtitle-to-speech window


2. Click the Play or Browse-for-Folder button to specify the location of the subtitle file (Subrip only)


3. Locate the subtitle file...


4. If a video has been found (AVI) matching the subtitle file, you will be asked if you want to launch the video file in your default media player


5. The subtitles have been parsed from the file specified as well as the last subtitle time


6. If you had opted to open the video file as well, the movie starts playing and you can see how the program works


7. Since the video and the program are in no way connected, you need to manually adjust the timing (scrub...). Just click on the running time label to open the scrub dialog


8. If you are using Videolan's VLC, you can turn off the subtitles, by clicking the appropriate menu entries as shown.
