Audio Book Maker: A nifty way to proof
By ron carlson, Insanely Great Mac
March 18th 2003
Turn any text file into an audio file that can be dragged and dropped into iTunes
Alexander Wilson Studios has released Audio Book Maker v2.0. This application can
convert any ordinary text file into an audiobook in AIFF format, which the user can
drag and drop into iTunes, convert to MP3 and take on the road in an iPod.
New features in this version include:
... Adjustable word rate of 50 to 500 words per minute; and
... The ability to customize the "speaking" of numbers
AudioBookMaker 2 is a simple, one-window, one-file shareware application that takes
advantage of Jaguar's built-in text-to-speech (22 voices) functionality. It sells for
$2.50 and a demo can be downloaded here.
Editor's note: I've been using this app for the last few days to proof press releases
and other materials at work. It definitely helps...
