Narrator
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.
Required OS: 10.5

This is a very handy app, and is being sold as part of a bundle at www.macbundlebox.com 6 apps for the price of only one. 20% of all profits are being sent to the Haiti relief effort. If you want to buy this app, buy it from there. As I said before, this app is very useful, and the other 5 in the package are also very handy to have.
Handy app for use in the classroom. As a teacher I can see many situations where this app can be applied to enhance student learning.
