Listen to your documents via iPod or iPhone
I remember purchasing a software 5 years ago which allows me to listen text-based documents and not reading it from my desktop. That helped me with my hate of reading lengthly documents and rather do listening to it while resting with the help of that text-to-speech tool I got.
But with the current trend of portable devices, this technology is now brought to this devices like iPods or iPhones. There are lots of software for desktops to do this job but what if we are “on-the-go”?
ZappTek, a software company producing iPod/iPhone tools, produced iSpeak It.
iSpeak It is a file-to-audio converter that serves as a perfect companion to the iPod or iPhone. iSpeak It loads Word, PDF, Pages, RTF, AppleWorks, text and HTML documents. It downloads news, weather forecasts, driving directions, and arbitrary web pages as well as RSS feeds. iSpeak It then uses the Mac’s text-to-speech engine (check out our TTS page if you’d like to find better voices) and iTunes to convert the text into an MP3/AAC track.
The software cost around $19.95 and needs Mac OS X 10.4 or later version to run the software. There is a trial version limits transfers to the first 1000 characters of a document.
