It uses AT&T's Natural Voices to quickly and compactly converts documents into audio files. These award-winning voices provide clear, naturally sounding audio output. Text-To-Audio can turn Ebooks to books on tape. > > > > 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. > > > > Premier Programming Solutions > > 12800 Escanaba Dr. Suite D > > DeWitt, MI 48820 > > > > Phone (517) 668-8188 > > Fax (517) 668-2417 > > > > Email [log in to unmask] > > > > www.readingmadeeasy.com > > > > > > VICUG-L is the Visually Impaired Computer User Group List.
