News Anchor is the alternative news reader for those who doesn’t like to read. Instead of displaying gobs and gobs of text like a list of never-ending e-mail, News Anchor allows you to rest your eyes and fingers while catching up with the news that matters to you. With News Anchor you can sit back, relax, and enjoy your news feeds along with your meal and take your hands off the keyboard due to its hands-free, one-click operation.
News Anchor utilizes text-to-speech technology to present you with a news broadcast for your enjoyment. But unlike traditional news broadcasts, you can customize what news you want to hear based on your choice of RSS/ATOM feeds. Another benefit unlike web streaming news casts, News Anchor works on low-bandwidth connection or even off-line so that you don’t have to experience “net lagging” while watching your favorite news shows.
News Anchor requires Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and is fully compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6).
