Text aloud is really bad unless you get good voices for it which aren't
cheap.

Don Barrett Demonstrates Turning Text Into Audio Using Text Aloud On Tek
Talk Monday, November 17, 2008
The Accessible World News Wire, Indianapolis, Indiana USA
Responding to many requests we have received to provide training in making
MP3 files from text documents to transfer to the VR Stream and other
portable devices, we have invited Don Barrett to discuss this topic in
detail during next week's Tek Talk online training sponsored by the
Accessible World.
This training session will discuss exactly what Text Aloud is, where to buy
the software, how to begin using it, how to use various voices, batch file
conversion, how to add, pauses and change voices within a file, use the
pronunciation editor to change the way words are spoken, and more.
After listening to this tutorial, it is guaranteed you will be able to
obtain the software, and use it to convert text-based material into an audio
format which should be pleasing to listen to on a portable player.
About the Presenter:
Don is an assistive technology specialist and the Section 508 Coordinator
for the US Department of Education. He is involved in testing applications
for Section 508 compliance, setting policy on the implementation of Section
508 at the Department, and oversees the training of visually impaired
individuals in the use of assistive technology.
He's an avid computer user, has a real passion for training individuals in
computer use.
