Text2Go

Are you drowning in a sea of information? Text2Go can help!

Text2Go is a text to speech product that allows you to transfer information from the web to your iPod, so you can listen to it on the go and utilize time that would otherwise be wasted. Make productive use of those times when you're commuting, out for a run or in the gym.

Text2Go is designed to help students and information intensive professions such as doctors, lawyers, academics and knowledge workers absorb large amounts of information.

Text2Go is the quickest and easiest way to get information from the web onto your iPod. Text2Go is fully integrated with Internet Explorer and iTunes making the process as simple as a couple of mouse clicks. No typing or messing around with files.

How does it work?

Text2Go makes use of advanced text to speech technology or TTS, which gives your computer the ability to read any text to you in a wide range of voices. Forget the robot-like computerized voices of the past, today's high-quality voices are clear and natural and come in a wide range of languages and accents.

What are the advantages of the Text2Go approach?

• More convenient than an eBook - No reading means no squinting at a tiny screen. Text2Go leaves your hands and eyes free to perform other tasks.
• More compact that traditional printed media - If you've tried to read a broadsheet in a packed subway train you'll know what we mean.
• More choice than a podcast and no hidden surprises - Despite their recent proliferation, podcasts still account for only a tiny percentage of information on web. Text2Go allows you to choose exactly what you want to listen to. Say goodbye to gratuitous ads and cheesy musical interludes.

How do I use it?

1. Start Internet Explorer and browse to the web page you want to listen to on your iPod.
   
2. Select the text you wish to listen to and click on the Text2Go button in the toolbar.
   
3. Text2Go will convert the text to speech and transfer it to iTunes.
   
4. Now plug in your iPod, wait for it to update and you're ready to go.

It's quick and easy because Text2Go does all the work for you.

Text2Go works for you behind the scenes by

• Using the title of the article to name the track.
  
• Placing the track in a Text2Go playlist so it doesn't get lost in your music library.
  
• Taking a screenshot of the web page and using it as Album Art for the track, making it easy to visually identify.
  
• Setting the track's album name to the website domain name and the genre to Text2Go to aid in sorting and identifying Text2Go tracks.
  
• Recording the web page's address in the track comments so you can always go back to the information source at any time.
  
• Managing your Text2Go track's by deleting the one's you've already listened to. Text2Go can easily regenerate a track at any time as it stores the original text on your computer.

The above behavior can be configured so that Text2Go will fit in with the way you work.
