Reading News While I Do Nothing

My Hands Free News Reader

Read the latest news and blog feeds from your screensaver. Just sit back and let the news screensaver do all the work.


Uploading this news screensaver to my computer, I was pleasantly surprised with how well it worked and how easy it is to use. The backgrounds are beautiful and the text is clear and easy to use. So I quickly added my own RSS feeds to see how it worked. Adding the feeds was surprisingly easy too.

Once I had some of my favorite news and blog feeds entered into the screensaver I set the screensaver to go off in one minute so I could read my feeds. Setting up the feeds was easy too. Just a matter of copy and paste. You can add any news feed or blog feed you want to this screensaver.

The screensaver has beautiful backgrounds with scenes from nature like waterfalls and sunsets. At the top right of the screen are the news feeds for you to read. There's a few lines from each feed. They change about every 30 seconds or so. The title is bigger so you can see what the feed is about before you read it. On the bottom left of the screen you'll see some other titles. These are the next few feeds that you'll read.

As I walk past my computer, doing daily tasks, I can look over and read something from one of my news or blog feeds. Each time I walk past something new is showing. If I just want to sit and relax I can grab a cup of tea and just sit reading the screensaver.
