[Year 12 IT Apps] Need a program to convert text to audio

[McDonald, Debra A1]

when you work out the program could you pass it on as next year I have several students who have learning disabilities and this would assist them greatly.

Problem:  Student has problem reading notes.

Solution:  Student can listen to notes on iPod.


Can anyone recommend a program that I can download (either free or trial download) that will convert text (Year 12 summary notes) into audio format (mp3 or wav file) that my student can then use to listen to?

I did this mid-year, but the software I used was hit-and-miss.  Anyone else got experience with this and make a suitable recommendation?

Many thanks in anticipation,
