Welcome

This site is the home of the Spoken Quotes Yahoo! widget as well as a growing community of investors and people with business related interests.

What is the Spoken Quotes widget you ask?
It is a widget that runs under the Yahoo! Widget Engine (YWE) that enables you to watch a portfolio of financial symbols by fetching quotes and news on a user configurable update interval.
How is it different from other market monitoring software?
It is different in that it will speak quotes and news as new data is found. The items that get spoken are user configurable per symbol, so if you only want to hear when the price of YHOO changes, you can!
What is required to use it?
You'll need an internet connection which I'm guessing you have since you're reading this. Next you'll need to download and install the Yahoo! Widget Engine (YWE). Then you'll need to download the Spoken Quotes widget via any of the download links on this site. Finally, load it via the widget engine menu.
What can I do on this site?
Currently members can discuss stocks or other investment and business related topics in the forum, post their own blog entries, report issues with the widget or related software, suggest enhancements to the widget or related software, add their own widget data sources, create a stock portfolio to watch.
In the future members will be able to share their stock portfolios and rate them, automatically synchronize their stock portfolio between this site and the widget, and get site content updates through the widget.

Thanks to Pascal over on the Yahoo widget site for letting me know about this one so I could fix it:

Hi,

There were some crashes being caused when removing news items from the News context menu.

I finally got around to adding the feature to track multiple user-defined portfolios with the widget. You can also now enter shares owned and prices paid and see the portfolio value change as quotes are updated. An option was added to the speech preferences to also have the portfolio value spoken when it is detected that the value changes. You can see your shares value change along with percentages under each symbol label. Clicking on the "Profit or Loss" text or on the symbol text now gives menu options to add or remove shares.

The pages within this topic describe how to use the Spoken Quotes Widget.
