There is also a program called text aloud which I bought. It will read text and save as mp3 with truvoice. Worth checking out. Just google text aloud Steve -----Original Message----- From: bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookcourier-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Marie Rudys Sent: Saturday, April 15, 2006 6:17 PM To: bookcourier@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookcourier] Re: Was re: test - general use of Bookcourier Diane, where do I get this textrecorder?

I like the voice on the Bookcourier but I don't think I'd like to listen to a whole document or book in it. You could download a program called textrecorder, its free and this can convert things into MP3 format so you can put it on the BC. If I can help further feel free to contact me off list. Textrecorders web site is: http://www.sparetimegizmos.com/Software/TextRecorder.htm Happy reading.

Now, I am scanning a book with a scanner from a paperback, but it is a new scanner much smaller than a flatbed. It's my book, so I can rip pages out. I am saving the book, one page at a time in Wordpad. Can I transfer this book later to my Book Courier and be able to read it?
