Funny that being on TV, I almost never watch it.

One glaring exception is the CBS Sunday Morning News.  In my mind, it’s TV’s best regular programming, probably ’cause I started with Charles Kuralt, whom I considered a news God… and now with another “Charlie” — Charles Osgood…also a CBS stalwart.

A recent program had a brief story about Voiceovers by Nancy Giles.

Here’s the YouTube version for your enjoyment:

(props to my VO-BB chums for clueing me into this, ’cause once again…I wasn’t watching)

Gee, ‘hope I’m not going to get into trouble for spreading this around, but it seems like a pretty good product, and they’re giving away the software.

Sure, you’ve got Adobe Reader installed, but can it do what the Nuance PDF Reader can do?

From their website:

“Nuance PDF Reader enables you to do much more than just view PDF files. You can convert PDF files to Word®, Excel®, and RTF via a hosted web service. Use annotation tools to highlight, cross-out, and underline text for more effective collaboration. Even fill out and save PDF forms. Nuance PDF Reader takes up less disk space, is more secure than Adobe® Reader®, and works with virtually any PDF file.”

I don’t know about you, but that part about converting to Word and Excel sounds mighty handy for some of the VO projects you get from time-to-time….’cause why the heck doesn’t Adobe (or Nuance for that matter) offer a word-counter integrated into the program?

Click on the picture above or HERE to go to the Nuance site for that free download.
