Yu can as well get a copy of the program 'text aloud', which will convert your txt file into wav or mp3. Anumber of voices are also available for purchase. ----- Original Message ----- From: Missy Hoppe To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, 08 October, 2006 09 20 Subject: [bookport] Re: Sending Text Files as Audio Hi, Peter! I couldn't agree with you more on this; the audio file should be able to be created without the bookport being connected. That way, the batteries are only being drained during the actual transfer. Might this be something that can be changed in the next release of the bookport transfer software?
