VocaTalk

VocaTalk is an easy-to-use application that can generate personal podcasts with sound effects and music in the background. You copy and paste any content, select music and effects, generate episode, and download to your iPod, Zune or any mp3 player.

If the content is too large, VocaTalk will automatically split it into episodes of 50-60 minutes. VocaTalk uses digital signal processing technology to massage the generated speech. Listening to a VocaTalk episode is much more comfortable and fun than raw TTS (text-to-speech) technology. Integrates with iTunes and Zune directly using podcasting technology.

Generated mp3 files are always in CD quality (44.1 KHz, stereo). VocaTalk is designed to make reading and learning experience fun and efficient for people who read and learn a lot, or people who want to do so but have no time. Students, engineers, teachers, doctors or anyone who wants to keep himself/herself up to date with information in a fun way can use VocaTalk.

A VocaTalk episode is based on whatever you chose it to be. You just give the content to VocaTalk and chose music and effects. VocaTalk will read the text as it plays the music in the background. VocaTalk will use all available voices installed on your system randomly so you don't get bored by listening to the same voice especially during long hours of listening.

It's like a documentary audio that is narrated by multiple speakers. VocaTalk will leave periods of silence between paragraphs to make the listening experience closer to a documentary. The background music makes it also fun and engaging.In order to make the listening even more comfortable, keep the focus and attract the attention, VocaTalk uses some sound effects and enhancements to the generated mp3.

There are a number of different effects that you can turn on and off. For example positional audio effect moves the sound position of the speakers smoothly and changes depth, echo and pitch of the sound.
