What you want is either books2burn http://sourceforge.net/project/
downloading.php?groupname=books2burn&filename=books2burn.
099b2.dmg&use_mirror=umn
or
C-speech http://www.kafkasdaytime.com/cspeech/
They have an interface and give you fine control over the speech
output. If you don't like either of them drop me a line and I'll
write you a program.

Hi,
Interesting. I haven't delved deep into trying to convert text
files to audio on the Mac yet. I'm not terribly fond of command
line programs, but the fact that that is available is nice.
Typically, I convert text files to AAC format, flag them as audio
books so the iPod will treat them as such, and put them on my iPod.

Do you want to just make text file into audio file? you can do
that now with the say command line program. What exactly are you
wanting to do?

Hi David,
Interesting. VisioVoice sounds like a nice expansion to
VoiceOver. Has anyone used this? I may try out the demo at some
point. The multi-lingual support is the most impressive, and my
girlfriend will definitely be interested in it for that. *grin*
I love the ability to make text files to iPod ready iTunes format
as well, although I'm not sure those two options along are worth
the $250 price tag. I got a program to do to the text to audio
conversion for free under Windows, and am sure eventually I'll
find another, similarly free solution under Mac OSX. Still,
seems like a nice package.

On the schedule I saw VoiceOver presentation and Mac osx
accessibility presentation. I attended the latter but had a
conflict with the former. VO was touched upon though and I used
it during the accessability lab.
There was also a set of presentations by assistiveware dealing
with their line of access products for the Mac. I provided a
brief demonstration of Visiovoice with VO and the IvoxInfovox
voices onn Saturday morning.
I agree, it was not an exciting conference for me but then I
have nothing to compare it too. Several people though said that
it was the best CSun in years.
You can learn more about assistiveware products at:
http://www.assistiveware.com
we've discussed them here before but incase you haven't checked
them out, theyy are worth a look.
I am not employyed by assistive ware.
Thanks!

There were a couple of presentations on VoiceOver. Perhaps,
three, but I'm not sure. Also, a few folks from Apple were
wandering about. Unfortunately, even though it was not an
overly exciting show, I didn't have much time to attend
presentations or venture far from my booth.
