Renette, thanks very much for the clarification. Narrator, by the way, I believe is the name of the primitive speech system provided with Windows XP that some Jaws users are able to use in emergency situations to help them with basic tasks like shutting down or rebooting their computers properly. It isn't the kind of speech capability you'd use for anything the way we use jaws with Eloquence voices or any of the other synthesized voices I know others may use.There's just a way to turn on this function and navigate its controls and use it to operate the computer in a very minimal way.

I now think this person was referring to "audible help" in the menu. I said yes, but I am taking this back. I do not know. I thought the inquiry was about voices to read the converted file. 2 Then, the following is correct: Creating Audio Files TextAloud can create audio files from text. These files can be .wav, .mp3, or .wma files. Thanks Yardbird for pointing out this "confusion".
