Hello Anne:
thanks for this suggestion, I thought there was something like this. But how
does one activate that command? It is checked in Service Prefs, but I don't
see any option to implement it either in iTunes, or in Text Edit. What am I
missing?
Thanks,

Hello Missy,
This is really strange. I have the same problem as you when converting a Mail
message to MP3, but not with a TextEdit document. In both cases, I changed the
voice from Alex to an Infovox iVox voice. I' still using Lion.
Cheers,

Hello Donna,
The easiest way to convert text to MP3 audio is to enable the service command
"Add to iTunes as a spoken track". You have to select the text first, and
you'll be in a dialogue box where you can choose the voice. To increase the
speech rate, put the command mentioned by Jane at the

does it use default vo settings?

To vary the speed, you put in two left brackets ra number and two right
brackets at the top of the file. it reads it at that speed witn whatever your
system voice is set to.

-o means the next thing on the command line is the name of the output
file. The process is silent unless you add a --progress flag which will
update the last line in terminal with stats like the number of seconds

What doers the o stand for, and can you keep it from reading the text aloud? I
am wondering if it will be any faster than my automator workflow.

Hi all,
I know this has been around before, but it isn't something I've ever needed to
do. What's the best way to convert a txt or PDF document to MP3?

Not sure exactly how they did it but from the unix shell you could use
the say command. So, for example, you could do
say -o testfile "Now is the time"
and you should get an audio file in aiff format with spoken words in the
current voiceover settings. To pull the text to speak from a file cal
Hello all,
From the old Leopard days I remember there was an Automator action that
allowed one to convert from text to Mp3. I recently attempted to perform
the same on Snow Leopard but found several problems.
