Narrator
THE GOODS
The Mac OS X uses great voice synthesis, but let’s face it, it’s limited. You can’t necessarily assign voices to your text and, if you wanted to hear what "different folks" have to say – like in a group or a meeting, well, that’s really limited too.
Narrator, one of the only text-to-speech solutions for the Mac, changes all of that.
This is a POWERFUL Mac app will bring all of your text to life by reading it to you using voice synthesis; your letter, an ebook, emails, online news – or any other text. You can choose different voices, rates, pitches, inflections and volumes for each character you assign, giving your text a wide range of expressiveness.
WHY WE LOVE IT
Sometimes it's nice to take a break from reading everything that comes before your eyes. With Narrator you can turn all your text into a voice that will read anything to you. Just paste any text into Narrator and your text will start to play with the click of a button.
TOP FEATURES
It's Simple
Just paste your text into the window or import an RTF, .txt or .doc file into Narrator and your letter, story – any text – is brought to life using voice synthesis.
Narrator for Professional Use
That business letter you’re ready to send to a prospective customer? Have Narrator read it out for you and you’ll know right away if what you wrote is what you want to have read.
Listening Made Easy
You can also export speech directly to iTunes, where you can listen to it over and over, or sync it to your iPad, iPod or iPhone.
A Product That Likes to Learn
To help you improve the pronunciation of tricky words, Narrator includes Dictionary preferences. You enter a list of words to look for, and words or phrases to use instead when speaking.
