NewsHawker

If keeping up with the news is a priority but you also have other tasks to focus on, NewsHawker may be just what you need. This software extends the functionality of NetNewsWire by reading the news items out loud for you.

Not only is NewsHawker convenient, but it's also highly configurable. You can choose to hear just the headlines, just the bodies of the articles, or even hear the bodies of some items while their headlines are being read. Additionally, if an article piques your interest, you can easily open it in your browser from within NewsHawker's single control window.

Another great feature of NewsHawker is that it can be controlled via keyboard shortcuts, AppleScript, or the Apple Remote. And if you're unsure about purchasing the software, you can try it out as a fully-functional trial for 25 days, with the option to extend for another 5 days, before deciding to register.

Overall, NewsHawker is a fantastic tool for anyone who wants to keep up with the news while still being able to focus on other tasks. The only requirement is NetNewsWire, making it easily accessible for most users.
