Hi Ahmed,
This functionality is built right into the Mac. Simply open the document,
select the text you wish read into an mp3 then go under the application menu,
choose Services and "Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track".
Note the following:
• If you wish to record the entire document, simply press cmd-a to Select All.
• This script will create a playlist in itunes called Spoken Text and place the
file in it.
• If you use this option a lot, I suggest that you make a Keyboard Shortcut for
it.
To make a Keyboard shortcut:
• Go to system Preferences.
• Select the Keyboard System Pref.
• Select the Keyboard Shortcuts tab.
• Interact With the Keyboard Categories table.
• Slect Services from the second column.
• Stop Interacting With the Keyboard Categories table.
• Navigate right once and Interact With the Keyboard Shortcuts table.
• Select the Add to iTunes as a Spoken Track item.
• Navigate right once to the text field.
• Press VO-space to activate.
• Press the key combination you'd like. Be careful to not pick one
already used by the OS.
• close the System Prefs.
• If the shortcut does not appear, restart your Mac.
