VocaTalk generates personal podcasts that sound like an audio documentary with sound effects and music in the background. You copy and paste any content, select music and effects, generate episode, and download to your iPod, Zune or any MP3 Player. If the content is too large, VocaTalk will automatically Split it into episodes of 50-60 minutes. VocaTalk uses text-to-speech (TTS) technology to read the text aloud and digital signal processing (DSP) technology to massage the generated speech. Listening to a VocaTalk episode is much more comfortable and fun than raw TTS (text-to-speech) voice.
