NewsHawker: Listen to NetNewsWire

by Mat Lu Jan 21st 2007 at 8:00PM

NetNewsWire is probably the single most used application on my Mac. If I'm connected to the net, NNW is open and refreshing my hundreds of RSS feeds. It's how I get stories for TUAW, of course, but it's also one of my primary sources of entertainment (I realize that might be kind of sad). Because of all this, NewsHawker piqued my interest, as it integrates with NetNewsWire to actually read aloud various NNW text (headlines, bodies, etc.) via Mac OS X's built-in text-to-speech functionality.

NewsHawker is definitely beta software (on the way to being shareware), and I'm having some trouble getting it to work correctly. Nonetheless, this might be of interest if, as the developer suggests, you like "to eat and read your news at the same time."

This app shouts out (literally) for Leopard's much improved text-to-speech voices.

For some reason this sounds very familiar.

Take a look at Vocero widget, which has been out for more than a year now:

Does NNW allow you to export a list of your feeds that other people can import? If so, TUAW readers might be interested in what feeds you subscribe to.
