> Text-To-Audio is fast. It can produce an hour's worth of audio in just 4
minutes.  This 15 to 1 conversion time will allow you to quickly convert
those manuals into audio files.  Finally, fit reading back into your
schedule by turning that reading into portable compact audio files that you
can listen to while traveling or exercising.

> Text-To-Audio creates very compact files. Audio files traditionally take
up a lot of room.  With Text-To-Audio you can create audio files in 9
different formats, including MP3, Standard Wave, DSP, and GSM.  With some of
these formats you can get up to a 50 to 1 compression.  A standard wave file
of 10 megabytes can be compressed to just a little over 200K. These
compressed wave files can still be played with Microsoft's standard media
player. Make these files portable by downloading them to an MP3 player or by
burning them to an audio CD and playing them in a regular CD Stereo.

> Text-To-Audio allows you to select up to 20 documents to convert at one
time. Each document can have it's own setting and voice selection.
Text-To-Audio can use virtually any type of word processor file. It can read
Microsoft Word, HTML, Rich Text and Standard ASCII file formats. Break an
Ebook up into chapters and then select a different voice for each chapter to
give you some variation.  The output files can be set up to go into the same
or separate output folders.

> Text-To-Audio has a built in word processor that allows readers to
preview, or edit the document before the audio file is created. Readers can
hear what the voice sounds like, and adjust the speech rate and voice pitch.
The talking word processor, also works well as a proof reading tool. When
readers use the word processor to read a document the word is highlighted as
it is being spoken, making it easier for the reader to follow along.  The
combination of both audio and visual can significantly increase the reader's
comprehension.
