is there an easy program that will export sound files of voices speaking out text?
i used to set up an audio program and use simpletext to speak things, but it never worked too well..
needed for a client... ugh..
thanx!

Hook up your audio out to your mic jack on you DV Camera, then record to a DV tape, then import to iMovie, and extract the audio from the video...

i dont have a DV camera, or that would be the perfect solution :)

i could help ya if you could do it on a PC, but i really dont know how to record that on a MAC.
i tried a few months ago but had no success. then again i was kinda drunk and gave up after about 30 minutes.

BIO: thanx! well i guess that's fine as i could simply boot up Virtual PC and give it a shot, as long as its not involving "hardware tricks"..

nah. it is really pretty easy on a PC.
if it is just a small file you want, then you can do everything in the volume controls panel. (double click the volume icon in your startup tollbar)
once you got it open, goto File>Properties>recording
and then instead of chosing Mic, pic Line (i think that is right. it has been a while since ive done it.but anyway, once you do that, ifyou dant have any software, you can just use the PC soundrecorder (start>accessories>entertainment... or something like that) that will record all the sounds yourcomputer makes to an 8 bit wav file.
not hi-fi, but it will get the job done. you can import that into most sound editing software if you need further adjustments.

you can highlight ANY text - in a browser,email,your own Document... than export as an MP3 of AIFF file. This is in Jaguar only I believe. Nothing like having your email read to you on your ipod on the way to work.
