Hi Dan, George, and all,
I also use Text Aloud and convert my books with speech added. Then I can put
them on my MP3 player. In my humble opinion, Text Aloud is the greatest
program. I use it every day.

Hi George,
I currently have TextAloudMP3 and I do a similar thing. I convert the books
to MP3 files and load them onto an mp3 player. I was just hoping to avoid
that step by using a device that would speak the text without the mp3 step.
Thanks for your reply.
