Cool text to voice tool

Vozme is a great new site that allows you to paste any text and then it will create an MP3 file that you can save to your computer and listen to later. I figured I would give it a shot and so I copied a book review from the New York Times site - what better way to learn about a book then to have someone read it to you rather then you having to read it yourself? The article was just under 1,300 words. I was impressed in that it only took Vozme a little more then a minute to convert it to an MP3 file.

When listening to it though I was again struck that technology really needs to pick it up when it comes to text to voice stuff. While this one was good and very listenable, it still felt like a computer was trying to communicate with me.

So if you have a long commute or just like to listen rather then read, this might be a good and easy web tool for you to have. Otherwise wait for the technology to sound better......
