Text2Go Editor's Review
With life getting busier, online newspapers and blogs have already taken up quite a share of traditional newspapers. In coming days, audio documents and books are surely going to be knocking on the door to increase the share of technology in Information Industry. It is easy to read articles on mobile devices on the go, but won’t it be easier if all those articles are available as audio docs and audiobooks in mp3 format that could be played in mp3 player or an iPod and listened to whenever we want? It surely would be, but creation of audiobooks can be a tedious and a tough task. That’s where Text2Go come into picture.
Text2Go is a simple text to speech converter designed basically for material available online, but can well be used for converting custom text too. It works on all modern Windows Operating Systems and supports all major web browsers. Installation is not as quick as it should be for an application as little as 8MB; it completes without much user interaction and is definitely not slow. You need to have .Net Framework 2.0 else it would first download it from the Microsoft’s server.
On the first launch, you’d be asked to download a premium speech pack, smallest of which is 100MB. However, this premium pack is free to use for the trial period and you would not have to download it again if you wish to buy the product. If you chose not to download the pack, you can still use Text2Go but with the default Microsoft Anna voice. Text2Go doesn’t come with the easiest of interface to operate and even a technically sound user would have to go through the instruction manual or guide to get going. It resides in the system tray and most of the operation is done from there. For a novice user an intermediate user, a steep learning curve is definitely what is on the cards.
It has quite a lot to offer when you are familiar with its interface. Apart from basic text to audio conversion, it integrates itself with the browser and automatically plays the audio converted for the text copied to clipboard. This can be annoying, but this setting can be easily turned off. There are plenty of features, but some of those do not work to the perfection. One of the most helpful features of Text2Go is that it keeps record of every speech generated which allows the speech to be generated any time in future. Support for iTunes is also present. It has a good help and support section with many tutorials which help you to get fluent with it. The tutorials are sorted according to the ease and are there on the website with screenshots making them easy to access and learn.
Positive Points:
- Feature rich text to audio conversion tool.
- Integrates itself with most web browsers and iTunes.
- Nice Help and Support section available on its website.
Negative Points:
- Hard to get used to its interface for new users.
- Some of the features didn’t work as expected.
Conclusion:
Text2Go is a nice and feature rich text to audio conversion tool. With many voices in many accents available, this tool can really be helpful to stay updated with the things you read without spending much time. It comes with a pretty unorthodox user interface making it hard to get used to. Online tutorials sort this problem to some effect, but learning things always take time. It is definitely worth trying if you need to convert text to audio on regular basis.
