This way you can then take your favorite book that is in txt or word format and after it has ben converted into mp3 format in conjunction with the use of some sapii 5 voices such as the AT&T natural voices Mike or Crystal, you can listen to this book in a nice clear voice such as Mike or Crystal or whatever other voice name you prefer on your bookport or other mp3 player. You can also listen to text files or web pages you have converted using your favorite saphi5 clear, smooth sounding voice in your car stereo because you can also convert your desired text files or web pages into wave format with this program TextAloud. You can read all about this great program and different sapi5 voices and also listen to sample recordings of numerous different sapi5 voices on the web site www.nextup.com. It is also from this site www.nextup.com that you buy this program TextAloud or different desired sapi5 voices by credit card or cheque or money order. It is not a big cost for TextAloud, the price for this program is $30 U.S. and if you decide you want to get the AT&T natural voices speech engine with the clear, smooth sounding sapi5 voices Mike and Crystal after you have listened to sample recordings of these 2 voices, the price for the both of these voices together is only $25 U.S. Hope this helps you out.
