I'm grateful for everyone who's responded to my belated question about Text
Aloud, and I confess I haven't yet had time to go to this nextup site to
read all the particulars. But meantime, I've been noticing something in the
explanations about Text Aloud that puzzles me.
Everyone is in agreement in saying that the program enables you to convert
text files into audio format-- presumably for putting on a mobile device
like an IPod, yes?-- and they all mention two audio formats as available
alternatives. But some people say those two alternataives are .mp3 and .wma
(windows media audio), which sounds pretty normal in this context, because
both involve a great deal of compression, so that encoded files are
space-saving on the mobile device. But below, and in other posts lately,
some are saying that the second format is *.wav,* which is a big difference,
although it, too, begins with a w, if that's maybe the source of some
confusion. A .wav file is the full-size audio format file type that is
what's used to produce a commercial music CD, and this isn't a format often
used for packing mobile devices with music or recorded speech.
But maybe I'm missing something? If this isn't being said by mistake, please
say. Thanks. Always interested to learn.
