Hi Ann,
I apologize to the list as this is the third message in a row. I am not
sure why the link I was using didn't work as it was sent using HTML
format.
I am including a link below to the file, which I have put in the public
folder of my drop box.

Take care.

Hi Ann,
I don't think my link to the file on my SkyDrive page worked in my last
message. Here it is again:

Hopefully, this time it will be a link. The content of my last message is
shown below.
Take care.

Hello Ann,
I haven't used Open Book for some time but if I remember right the option
to
save a file as an audio file was in the file menu. Another idea to
consider
might be using www.zamzar.com. They will convert PDF to MP3 and the audio
is quite good. I sent them a file recently and had it returned in just a
couple minutes. I have put a link below to the file on my SkyDrive page
so
you can listen to the audio. The file I submitted was a PDF file on
bluetooth technology and the resulting MP3 was a lot better than I thought
it would be. If you follow the llink below you will be taken to the page
for downloading the file. Use insert with f7 and pick the download link
on
the web page. You can choose to save it if you want to or just open it to
hear it. If you use ZamZar then all you need to do is browse to the file
on
your drive and upload it, put in your Email address where they can send a
link to the file, choose MP3 from the combo box and submit the file. When
you follow the link they send you there will be an alternative to download
the file, which you can do to get the MP3 file on your computer. Here is
the link to the audio file on my SkyDrive page that I had them convert if
you want to hear some of it to check out the quality:

Honestly unsure how to do this in OB. Do you remember where that would be
located? I just tried to save as and I did not see MP3 or wav as choices.

Actually, Openbook does record Elequence onto MP3 formatted files, if you
set it to record the text into either WAV or MP3, its your choice.
I hope this helps, I had the program as a demo, that's how I know.

There may be some software out there but one off the cuff way to do this
and I don't know if it would work but...
Open .pdf file using scanning software.
I think scanning software like Openbook reads PDF files better.
File is read using synthesized voice, eloquence, sappy...
You can then record the synthesized reading using a digital recorder.
You now have a audio file on your recorder that you can copy to your PC.
I know that you can go from speech to text using Dragon or similar
software but don't know if there are other ways.
