Take any document or web feed and convert it into an MP3/AAC track in iTunes using your Mac's built-in text-to-speech capabilities. Automatically download podcasts and copy them into iTunes. From there it's a quick sync to your iPod and away you go!
iSpeakIt allows you to listen to your documents on your iPod.
Here are some key features of "iSpeakIt":
Load and edit any document. iSpeak It provides built-in support for PDF, Word, AppleWorks, RTF, HTML or text.
Download and edit any web page or RSS news feed.
Save documents as an AIFF file.
Transfer a document to iTunes and convert it to an MP3, AAC, etc track in your library (MP3 versus AAC conversion is based on your import preference settings in iTunes; AAC conversion requires iTunes 4.0 or later).
