HI.
there are good text to audio softwares one is text aloud from:
wwww.nextup.com
the other is:
text to audio
wwww.premierprogramming.
you will need a good OCR scanning package to scan the notes into the pc. This
of course hinges on whether the notes are in computer print. If they aren't,
you won't get very far as handwritten text does not usually translate well with
OCR.
I believe the RNIB and other organisations/businesses may be able to help too.
hth
Hope to hear from you soon.
from Martin.

Subject: [access-uk] Text to audio transcription?
i work for a local visually impaired society, and one of our service users
has asked us if we can put some course materials (around 50 pages worth of
notes produced by the various students in different fonts etc with diagrams)
onto an audio cd only. He says his computer is ancient and he can't use it any
more, and doesn't want tape because he is worried it will wear out and snap
after repeated plays , rewinding and fast forwardingetc.
Nobody at work seems to know the best way to tackle this problem, but i am
determined to do what I can to help- please PM if you want more info, or can
tell me how to progress- we do have reasonable access to equipment that can
help, but not at present, large scale transcription equipment....Sorry for
being stupid....hope you can advise a bit.
