Product Description:

Use Narrator to read out a play or story with different voices for each of the parts. It uses speech synthesis to read out marked passages using specified voice attributes. You can choose different voices, rates, pitches, inflections, and volumes for each character in the story. The words are highlighted on-screen and there are also a couple of silent read-along options for stage directions, or for you to read out your own parts. Starting with version 2, you can have multiple chapters in each document to help organize the story, use a word replacement dictionary to fine-tune the pronunciation, and can export the story as an AAC sound file or export it to iTunes, so you can listen on an iPod or iPhone, just like your own audiobook! Plus many other appearance and functionality improvements.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed a bug that prevented the Rate and Pitch sliders from supporting a full range of options.

Operating System Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel

Dejal Narrator CommentaryHuh - Version: 2.0, 3/17/2008 05:03PM PST

I'm not sure I get it. I haven't tried it yet but I think I understand that one person can make a story and sound different, or is it for a bunch of people to slightly change the sound of their voices as they read their part.

What I would like to see or make if I could, would be an app where one person could change his voice for different players and make your own audio kids book or something.

I can do that now, but it would be a lot of work. Just clicking on a player and then talk to record would be cool.

Dejal Narrator Developer NotePrevious feedback is for version 1 - Version: 2.0b3, 2/22/2008 09:10PM PST

Hi, I'm the developer of Narrator. I just wanted to make sure people noted that the previous feedback on the price perception was for version 1, released several years ago.

Version 2 has many enhancements over version 1, including much-requested exports to iTunes and AAC. So it's worth much more... but I'll only be asking $19.00 for it. (It's available for $14.95 during the beta testing.) I always welcome feedback on pricing, feature requests, bug reports, and other comments. The Narrator Forum would be the best avenue for support. I always reply promptly.

I hope you enjoy the enhancements in Narrator 2!
