Textcast alternative

Some months ago I read the story of how Textcast was created … but (coincidentally) about a week earlier I’d created basically the same thing using Mac OSX’s Automator.

And months and months later I’m finally getting around to sharing that Automator script.

… continued …

(I don’t intend any disrespect to the Textcast authors. I understand they’ve done a nice job on their application … but I don’t need many bells and whistles … and all the pieces were just sitting there in Automator ready to go …)

You’ll need a little Automator understanding to modify the paths and locations for your own use.

Here it is: spoken_web.zip

To use it, I copy the text I want to convert onto the clipboard and run the application.
