There is the open source project DAISY Pipeline project that you can get info on sourceforge.net but personally all I would like is a small app that would turn a text file into daisy book and do the tts.

I know it's a work around, but I vaguely recall hearing about methods to convert txt files to audio using a screen reader, or some other text toaudio utility? E. G. I can adjust my JAWS voice to certainly read as well or better than DoubleTalk, and I could record JAWS reading a textfile to an audio format like mp3; Then load that on a Stream or PlexTalkand at least have good speech quality for text file reading without relying on the built in TTS. Is there some simpler utility / method that accomplishes the sameresult? Especially a method that can handle large text files like books?And perhaps even convert text files to one of the DAISY audio formats that a Stream or PlexTalk could use, rather than just trying to create huge mp3 files.
