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

[Stephen Digby]

Try using Windows narrator and a audio stream recorder like GoldWave or one
of the freeware products online.

Works, but you need to leave your computer alone while it talks to itself.

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

 

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,
