WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH SPEAK IT ON MY IPOD 2.0?
• Go online and grab anything you wish. Copy, paste it into a text file, save it, and drop it in the "Send to iPod" folder and it will convert it to audio on your iPod.
• Have a long email you don't have time to read but would like to listen to on your way to work? Save the file, drop it in the "Send to iPod" folder and there you have it. It's now on your iPod.
• Want to study for your final exam while you are doing the laundry, walking the dogs, or going to school? Just save your class notes or class handouts, drop them in the "Send to iPod" folder, and you've got them ready to listen to.
• Still waiting for that classic text to come out as an audiobook? Why wait when you can grab it from online, save it and listen to the entire work on your iPod now?
• Divide larger works into chapters and save each as a text file -- then when you listen to the chapters on your iPod you can "rate" them. Then just listen to the high-rated chapters before your final exam.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
Speak It On My iPod 2.0 uses the computer voice of your choice to convert the text files into audio files read to you on your iPod. By default the voice is set to "Victoria" since her voice does the best at recognizing words. But you can select whatever voice you prefer. And now that Leopard is out, you can change the voice to the new one called "Alex"!
