Narrator is a Mac application that helps your bring any desired piece of text to life by allowing you to assign different voices for each paragraph or line. This program can come in handy especially when dealing with letters, stories or even business proposals, because you can assign multiple voices with different pitches, rates, inflections and volume, perfect for role-playing or casting purposes.
In addition, the Narrator lets you assign silent (read along and skip over) voices which can be quite useful for stage directions or if you want to read your own parts in the play, for example. Once you have finished assigning all the voices (called actors) to your text, you can listen to it in order to determine if any modifications are required like changing the pitch of a voice or adjusting the volume of a specific actor.
Narrator offers you the possibility to export your text as either an AAC file or you can export it directly to iTunes and listen to it at any given time or synchronize it to your Apple device in a simple manner.
Basically, by using the Narrator you can create audio books from any desired text by assigning actors for various roles. Furthermore, if the provided voices aren't enough, you can test and download more of them in no time.
Other than that, the Narrator puts at your disposal several tools that you can use in order to edit your text, check its spelling and grammar, modify its weight and alignment or you can even add replacement rules which can be quite useful if your text contains any abbreviations.
All in all, if you are in need of a Mac application that allows you to assign various voices to your texts, then you should definitely take a look at the Narrator.
