10.5: Create high-quality audio books |
|
|
Using the new ultra-realistic Alex voice in Leopard, you can create an audio book out of any text. Open Automator and add the following steps:
Text: Get Contents of TextEdit Document
Text: Text to Audio File (using Alex as the voice)
Music: Import Audio Files (I use AAC encoder)
[Optional] Music: Set Options of iTunes Songs -- check Remember Playback Position
[Optional] Music: Set Info of iTunes Songs
[Optional] Music: Import Files into iTunes -- specify playlist here
Tips:
Break up the book into chapters, so if you lose your playback position you won't be far off.
Use some free public domain texts.
Use PDFs with PDF2RTFService 1...
