Dave - The transfer program does not convert the book to audio *unless* it will do so by selecting the Send Audio button, but according to the manual, this only works for text files. I think it has to be a two-step process: convert the braille book to straight text, then send the text as audio using installed synthetic voices already on your computer. -----Original Message----- From: bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:bookport-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Allen Sent: Thursday, May 10, 2007 6:04 PM To: bookport@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [bookport] Re: TTS question Hi Sandy and list! Why translate it to text first? The bookport transfer programme will do that for him, as well as convert the text to audio before sending to the bookport. Cheers, Dave
