Some people have asked about making available the file I made that converted the Pope’s new encyclical Spe Salvi from text to speech. I had processed the file to remove references in parenthesis and footnotes to make it better to listen to.
I have two versions of the file one as an mp3 that was converted using AT&T’s Natural Voice Mike and the other in AAC format using the Alex voice the comes with OSX Leopard. Unfortunately I did not have any voices with a slight German accent.
If you want the file you can go here and select the file of your choice

Can’t you just store the files somewhere online like skydrive.live.com or http://www.box.net ?
Can you get the text of ‘Spe Salvi’ sung to the tune of ‘Veni redemptor gentium’?
Thanks Jeff. You’re the best.
Thank you, Jeff! I have included links to your audio files along with your Advent Wreath and countdown calendar on my blog.
I am also using your wreath on our parish Adult Faith Formation website.
Many thanks, and may your Advent be a season of great blessings for you and your family!

Awesome! Thanks! You should do the same to the Holy Father’s previous encyclical…or other church writings for that matter.
Also, that voice utility makes me want to get a Mac even more…
