Yakitome.com - Podcast Any Text to Yourself

Yakitome.com allows you to take any electronic text and convert it to voice that can be played on any MP3 player. While you do need to register, use of Yakitome is entirely free and it is easy to use. There are a number of inputs that can be selected for conversion which include: Text-- that you can convert with a simple cut and past, File-- in .doc, pdf or .txt formats, RSS-- by simply cutting and pasting the URL, and Email-- by providing your pop settings to convert emails. The service currently supports English, French and Spanish and you can select from a number of different voices supplied by AT&T. Also, choose between MP3 or WAV file format to suit your needs.

 
  In their own words  

“Listen to important documents, PowerPoint presentations, emails, RSS feeds, blogs and novels while you commute or exercise. Proofread, learn a new language, multi-task, or use YAKiToMe! for entertainment. YAKiToMe! is multi-lingual (English, Spanish, French ...) and brings you the world's best text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis technologies.”

  Why it might be a killer  

This is a great free service that allows you to convert practically anything into voice and listen to it on the go. The potential applications for this solution are broad and exciting.

  Some questions  

Will they be working on support for other languages other than the three that are currently available? Are they working on a reverse service that would allow people to dictate emails, word documents etcetera and have them converted into text?
