Re: [microsound] Text To Speech App for Mac

yes use Apples built in... but just use "text edit" the built in text editor for mac... there is a command under the Edit menu... "Speech: Start Speaking". It reads whatever is in the file. 

Then use Soundflower (free on the Cycling74 website.)

Route it to whatever your recording app is.

go to terminal, type say whatever you want to say
you can specify which voice and also render to file.
type man say for more info.
if you have max, you can use the lspeak object or emulate the terminal with shell. unfortunately i haven't found a way to record that without a multi i/o soudcard, soundflower and jack don't work with simple terminal commands.

Anyone know of a great text to speech utility which will render the resulting audio to a specified file format, preferably freeware also? I know Text edit is an option with Audio Hijack - but I can never get Audio Hijack to record anything. I am on MAC. 

Thanks,

Dominic
