Another program to possibly add to the mix would be Text Aloud. But I agree
that Total Recorder works very well for this sort of thing.

Hi, I would set your sound card to either "Stereo Mix" or "What you Hear."
In Vista and Windows 7, the process for doing that is slightly different,
you have to Show Hidden Controls in Sound in Control Panel.

Then, grab a program like the free Audacity or Total Recorder, hit the
Record button in either program, and with your sound card set to the
settings I mentioned, start Jaws reading.
These programs can record to either WAV or I believe MP3 as well.
