You can simply select a section of text in any application on your Mac, and in the menu of the application choose Edit, Speech, Start Speaking. If you haven’t messed around with it, it’s really quite extraordinary. I started with the built-in Text to Speech capabilities of OS X. It’s pretty complicated how all this works, and now I had no voice to make things just that much harder. Luckily I had pre-recorded bits for the majority of the show, but how was I to make sure that the non-recorded bits were at least listenable? And remember that not only do I do the recorded show for the audio listeners, but there’s also the live show that’s broadcast on YouTube as a Hangout on Air and from there broadcast in audio and video to Alpha Geek Media, and the audio is piped to the NosillaCast app. Not sure why it happens, seems to be more allergies than a sickness because I felt fine.Īnyway, since I’ve been doing the show non-stop for over a decade, I knew I couldn’t NOT have the show.
I get laryngitis periodically, ever since I was a little girl. I started losing my voice on Friday and by Sunday I could barely squeak out a sentence. I’m not sure you noticed on last week’s show, but the audio was just a little bit “different”.
