The Mac OS X uses great voice synthesis (especially the
voices in Lion!), 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 changes all of that.
It’s simple, really. 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.
You can choose different voices, rates, pitches, inflections
and volumes for each character you assign, giving your text
a wide range of expressiveness. There are also silent
read-along options for stage directions or for you to read
out your own parts. And if you need more characters,
you can purchase additional voices and in several languages
by visiting our web site.
Narrator has its professional uses too. That business letter
you’re ready to send to a prospective customer?
