In this paper we describe our linguistic preprocessing tool for synthesizing unrestricted texts : TEXOR. It consists of three modules : a metatextual module, a textual and a configuration ones. Then we introduce applications which can integrate TEXOR, in particular voice computer workstations for visually impaired persons. Last, we present a first evaluation of our system. This evaluation have been realized in the framework of electronic newspaper reading.
