Convert text to an audio file on your Mac

Using terminal:

say -f ~/Desktop/barker.txt -o ~/Desktop/barker.aiff

Here’s how this works:

• Save the text you want to translate into an audio file as a txt file (barket.txt in my example).
• Feed that text file to the say command, using the “f” flag.
• Convert the resulting AIFF file into an MP3 in iTunes. -o ~/Desktop/barker.aiff is saying to output the barker.aiff file to my desktop.
• Copy to iPod.
