Now _this_ is brill. Voice Box is a fully-scriptable speach app for OS X. It sports aiff file output; listen-as-you-type; control over voice, pitch, and rate; and can even grab RSS feeds off the Net and read them to you in the voice of your choice. I see great applicability to Home Web Radio, interspersing tunes with up-to-the-minute news and weblog feeds.[via cory] [raelity bytes]
I downloaded the demo and it works great... The audioblog ideas are really very interesting. Lots of possibilities.... The link below is to an mp3 of the application reading part of my RSS feed... The demo only allows for a 9 second recording...
