iAudioize from MagneticTime now available for the Mac

Listen to your emails and documents on your iPod

27 March, 2007, Limerick, Ireland -- Limerick, Ireland, based MagneticTime™ (www.magnetictime.com), today announced the worldwide release of iAudioize for the Mac. MagneticTime's first product to run on Mac OS X, iAudioize lets you listen to your emails, Word, PDF & Pages documents in MP3 format on your iPod.

“iAudioize is a superb productivity tool for business people, commuters, students and gadgeteers. For a long time, we’ve had a huge demand for a Mac version and we’re now delighted to respond to our customers' requests,” says MagneticTime founder, Richard O’Donnell.  "iAudioize leverages the in-built features of Mac OS X to deliver new functionality that's not available on any other platoform” 

“We're thrilled that MagneticTime™ has joined the rapidly growing community of new Mac developers,” said Ron Okamoto, Apple’s vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "Innovation is core to everything that Apple does and MagneticTime is building on Mac OS X and iPod innovations to create a fun and useful application with iAudioize."

Now you can listen to your email or documents anywhere: in your car, while traveling, on your daily commute or even exercising. iAudioize files are designed to take advantage of standard iTunes & iPod functions, so emails and documents, like songs, can be played, paused, stopped, skipped back & forward, and filed in Playlists, etc. 

Advances in speech technology mean that the old synthesized ‘Robo’ voices of the past have been replaced with new natural sounding voices.  iAudioize’s high quality text-to-speech technology transforms emails or documents into natural speech, reading it aloud with the flexibility and richness of natural sounding speech.

iAudioize is a day-to-day personal and business tool, allowing users to catch up with key work or listen to messages from friends or relatives while commuting to or from work.  “Mac users will immediately feel at ease with iAudioize,” says Shane McAllister, Executive VP with MagneticTime. “iAudioize handles Mail, Word, Pages & PDF files with simplicity and ease. Mail integration is automated, and other file types can be audioized by ‘drag and drop’ onto our interface.”
