Dejal Narrator ReviewThe Complete Accessibility Package - Version: 2.0.1, 5/28/2008 02:05AM PST

lavallette--2008
Just downloaded and installed version 2.0.1 of this app. And I have to say it is a quantum leap improvement on version 1. Along with MacDictate, Narrator has now provided me with the complete accessibility package. And with the ability to create a doc, choose a voice, alter inflections, then export to iTunes. I have just adapted a book a visually impaired person has just written with Narrator. Each character was then given their own voice and altered to provide its own personality. Once transferred to iTunes then this visually impaired person can listen to it when they want to alter, edit or whatever to their book. Along with the price which is an astonishingly low price - I decided on the Household License - now my whole family can enjoy 'playing' about with it.

Visually, the app has been improved leaps and bounds and is now proudly in keeping with my Leopard. All in all, an absolute bargain, a very effective tool and a dream to use.

As a published writer, I have always believed that the ears are the best judge and critic of written work, and sometimes of people too. Narrator is certainly testament to that. Well done Dejal.

By the way...for the cynics I am not related to the developer or met him. I am just a proud user.

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!

a break, guys -- sure, there are free apps that do speech synth, but Narrator is more than that. Narrator's main feature is something I haven't seen elsewhere: I can click one button and have my document read out using several different voices. Its great for reading out IM chat logs, among other things, with each person's text read out with a distinctive voice. Give it a go before dissing it, eh.
