A simplistic Text-to-Speech app for OS X
Check the releases: https://github.com/SamusAranX/Speech-Saver/releases
Start the .app (you may have to open it right-clicking->Open due to Gatekeeper), write/paste/open stuff and hit "Start speaking"(or press ⌘+↩). If you have text selected while doing this, Speech Saver will only speak the selected text.
Clicking "Stop speaking" (or hitting aforementioned shortcut again) will, well, make the app stop speaking.
Opening a file from the menu (or hitting ⌘+O) will open a file browser asking for either .txt or .rtf files.
Clicking "Save to File…" (or pressing ⌘+S) will open a save panel, asking you for a path to save an AIFF file with the spoken text to.
Hitting "Voice Options…" (or ⌘+,) will open a drawer containing a few options to play with.
Note to people interested in the code: Don't expect quality. This is the first 'real' app I wrote and I'm sure there'll be things in there that'll really grind your gears. You've been warned.
(If you have constructive criticism for me, send it directly to @SamusAranX on Twitter or create a pull request or something. I'd appreciate it.)
Why not?
I'm currently learning how to use Objective-C while making an iPhone app, and wanted to see whether I could use my knowledge of the language to make an app for OS X. Turns out I could.
