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

[Paul Kerr]

Hi Joseph,

 

I have several programs that I am going to try for the same reason.
They are:

 

Natural Reader

PowerTalk

Read Please 2003

PdfAloud

Wordtalk

 

I have them on CD and I can drop in a copy if you like.  They are all
freeware and apparently all work reasonably well

 

Cheers

 

Paul

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,
