Speakapedia Converts Wikipedia Articles to Spoken Word
Peter Cohen, Macworld.com
With HP wireless printers, you could have printed this from any room in the house. Live wirelessly. Print wirelessly.
Shiny Development on Tuesday introduces Speakapedia, a utility that turns Wikipedia Articles into spoken word tracks in iTunes. Speakapedia costs US$9.95 (through the end of August, when it becomes $14.95). A demo is available.
Speakapedia will covert Wikipedia articles to spoken word using Apple's built in text-to-speech capabilities. The software then imports those audio tracks directly to iTunes. All non-essential text is filtered out, and you can choose which sections of an article you want to convert.
System requirements call for Mac OS X 10.5 or later, 3.8MB hard disk space, Internet connection and iTunes.
