Glad to hear someone finds it useful. I was getting quite sick of clicking links, waiting for pages to load, clicking back to return to stories, etc., thus this project. There are a few more features I'd like to add, such as searching past stories, displaying reviews, and viewing forum comments, but I'm trying to complete some other "mini-browsers" beforehand.
Very nice, Scott!
I made something similar which grabs the local news from the Times of Malta, saves the text and then makes a sound (.aiff) from the text. I can listen to the news whilst doing other things here in the morning. You could also save it to iTunes and end up with a MP3 file if you space is an issue.
Because of the AppleScript it only works on Mac.
To turn text into an AIFF sound file I do the following:
In the Custom Property doAS I place: using "Bruce" saving to "MaltaNews.aiff"
if the hilite of btn "Make sound file" is true then -- option of listening or reading the text
put fld "pageText" into tWords -- fld containing portion of web page with html stripped
replace quote with " " in tWords --quotes seem prevent the making of the sound file
put the doAS of me into doAS --I suppose you could just script it all without the Cust.Prop
put "say"&& quote&tWORDS"e before doAS
do doAS as applescript
end if
