TextAloud Announces Integration with iTunes
Latest release of popular text to speech program offers seamless integration with iTunes.
Clemmons, NC (PRWEB) April 8, 2008 -- NextUp Technologies (http://www.Nextup.com) announces that its popular Text to Speech software TextAloud can now be used with iTunes! With the release of the latest version, TextAloud is now fully compatible with the popular iTunes service (http://www.apple.com/itunes/overview), adding ease, fun and functionality for iTunes users everywhere.
Priced starting at just $29.95, TextAloud allows anyone with a PC to simply and affordably export text from books, websites, or even PDF files into natural, human-sounding speech. For the many people who use it to create audio files for portable devices like the iPhone (TM) and iPod (R), TextAloud's newfound integration with iTunes is an especially welcome update.
"This latest enhancement was created especially with the needs of iTunes users in mind," comments Rick Ellis, President of NextUp Technologies. "TextAloud now works seamlessly with iTunes, automatically placing created audio files into iTunes for easy synching with their iPod (R), iPhone (TM), or other iTunes-compatible portable audio players."
Audio files generated by TextAloud are automatically added to the iTunes library, in a playlist name that users themselves can specify. Once users have completed updating iTunes with audio from TextAloud, they simply need to 'synch' their iPods from iTunes as normal. This will update their devices with their TextAloud audio and playlists seamlessly.
