Snow Leopard’s Text Recorder

Snow Leopard has a nifty secondary click menu option ‘Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track’ which lets you record text as audio.

The system voice you select in your Text to Speech preferences is the voice used to convert your text to speech while recording it. The track you see on iTunes will never sound as good as the audiobook you bought on Amazon but it only sounds as bad as our monotonous newsreaders do. I’ve used this for a couple of articles on New York Times and stories linked on Google News, the output was pretty cool.
