Well when you look at it, when you select a Bookshare book to download as
audio, all that happens is an mp3 is made of a screen reading voice.
Do it yourself, same thing less data to store.

Thanks TF! I like your tip about changing the extension from XML to HTML…
works great! I’m trying a 30 day free trial of ReadHear Pro, but, the
navigation seems a bit inconsistent, and, for some reason, VO does not seem to
follow the reading voice, so, if I try to re-read what the built-in reading
voice says using VO, VO instead still seems to be on page one of the book.
I will give the program you suggested a try although reading the book in Safari
works quite well.
Thanks again,
Russell
