Looking for ways to put time back in your day? How about transferring some of the documents you have to read into MP3 files, throwing them on your portable player, and listening to them while you take a walk? New service VozMe makes it easy to do this. Though the voice isn’t especially good, it’s a simple, quick hack to getting text into MP3 form.

Another solution which has some merit is Xfruit’s new Vocal Fruits service, which translates RSS to voice. That site, by the way, has about a dozen other ways to get data from one form to another. You’ll see some other interesting applications besides voice.

Putting data in a form we’d like starts off as a novelty, but the more we consider applications, the more we can see some business uses for this same technology. What do you see?
