Seriously… Hello fricken world!!
JayReader 1.0B, Everything I need, nothing else...
I hereby open up Jay Laboratories. The current front for my developmental madness. My personal wordpress server went down recently and I need a place to show off the things I’ve been working on. And what do you know, I’ve been working on something.
I’ve made it a recent goal to learn Cocoa/ObjectiveC/XCode and present the project I created as the project to get me immersed in the language. Without further ado I present my Hello World project JayReader. JayReader is a simple Mac text reader that uses NSSpeechSynthesizer to speak whatever is in the text box using your systems default voice at a variable speed and highlight what it is reading. I will probably release the beta of version 1.0 very soon to all you leopard users out there.
Here it is, JayReader 1.0Beta. It is a universal binary (though I haven’t tested the latest build on a PPC system, if it doesn’t work tell me, earlier builds worked on my G5). You must have 10.5 to run this due to a few revisions in the NSSpeechSynthesizer library that I felt neccicary to use. (on a sidenote it also allows me to use properties, oh the joy my lazy self gets out of that) Anyway, here it is…
Oh, and to anyone who has tried it and has any comments whatsoever do leave them… I’m always interested.
