Hi.

Does anyone know any software which will resample the text to speech feature in OSX?

I know I can route a soundcard output to an input but it would be handy if there was a quick easy way of doing it.

AFIK Audio Hijack wont sample it.

Thanks.

Have you tried soundflower?? I use it to grab audio from my various game emulators, can't imagine it would be any different with that.

Thanks for taking the time to reply man.

Worked a treat.

you can also use the program "say" on the commandline and use the option "-o filename.aiff" to create an aiff file.

Just open a terminal and type "man say" to show the other options.

This should fit your needs:

nice, you can specify the voice with -v argument, the voice name is the same as the OSX name for the voices.

this is easy

cd ~/Desktop

say -v Vicki -o vicki.aiff stuff to say

you'll have the file on your desktop

AHHH, even better! Cheers, this is exactly what I had in mind.

How do you guys record text-speech sound on to Ableton or as a wav, or aiff file on Mac?

thanks

The version of Say that I downloaded has a checkbox for "speech to desktop". No need for terminal.

Thanks for the link!

if you have word 2008 you can type something up in a document and then click the automator menu on the top right and create a .aiff file of the document.
