Hello Leslie Thanks for the reply e-mail. It appears you seem to use TextAloud fairly often to convert text files to mp3 files, so I really hope you can give me some helpful suggestions for the following big problem I'm having in TextAloud with jfw7 when I try to convert a text file to a mp3 file using the speak to file menu selection. With the text file open on the screen in TextAloud that I want to convert, after I hit enter on speak to file on the speak menu to instruct TextAloud that I want to convert this file to mp3, I then tab backwards and forward and see the edit box where you confirm the folder in which you want to put this converted mp3 file, so I do this . Then I tab and all that is there, other than the edit box for the correct folder, there is just an okay button so I hit enter on the okay button. Next I tab backwards and forwards and finally land on the edit box in which you enter the filename that you want to call this newly created converted mp3 file, so I enter a filename. Next I tab and and all that I see is the slider adjustment button for I believe it is volume. Next I tab again and there is nothing, no more buttons to land on. So then I also tab backwards with shift tab looking for an okay button to start the converting process, but there is no okay button, I can only go back to the edit box where you enter the filename, you cannot go backwards any further than the filename edit box. So this is where I'm really stuck, how do you start the converting process after you have enter the filename that you want to call it? Where is the okay button to tell TextAloud to start the converting process? or is there an okay button or do I need to look for another button to hit enter on to start the conversion process to a newly created mp3 file? If you can please help me out with this, I would be so much appreciative. I really hope you can help me out with this as I have a bunch of books on my computer in text format that I really want to start converting to a newly created mp3 file for each of the books, so I can listen to them using the voice Mike or Crystal on my mp3 player. Thanks very much in advance if you are able to help me out. I'm using jfw7 and have 512 mags of ram.

I think I need scripts because I have done the conversion of different text to mp3 format using the speak to file menu selection on the speak menu, a couple of times and during the conversion process Jaws does not say anything to let you know that the conversion process is actually taking place or how much percentage wise is left to convert. If jaws spoke to tell me something to confirm that the conversion process has started or tells the percentage number that has ben converted thus far, I would know for sure that the conversion is being done successfully and/ or how much is left to convert, this way I will know when the conversion process to mp3 is complete. I am using jfw7. Does jfw8 tell you these things that I have mentioned in this e-mail that I would like to hear during the conversion process to mp3 format? If you can please get back to me when it is good for you, I would be much appreciative. Thanks.

Just as a matter of interest: why do you need scripts? I am using Jaws 8 and managed just fine without scripts.
