Exporting messages created with SentenceShaper

Speech created with SentenceShaper can be emailed, played on handheld devices such as iPods, posted on websites, used on the phone, and turned into movies using third party software.

The export feature in version 1.0.6 makes this easier by creating mp3 sound files that play the user's speech, optionally "packaging" it with pictures and text subtitles that you can type in to make the speech even clearer to listeners. These mp3 files can then be used with third-party applications (such as email programs, iTunes, etc.). SentenceShaper even creates additional files such as playlists and html pages to help you use exported files in third party applications.

At this stage, the Export Feature may be of interest primarily to more adventurous users, or to those who are already familiar with the relevant third-party applications. Later on, we will make the interface between SentenceShaper and these other programs smoother.
