Yardbird,
I really wasn't so much singing the praises of the Victor, but I will if
it's called for.I figure however, that most people who wan to go to the
trouble to convert text files to an audio format aren't likely to listen to
them on a computer that also has a screen reader. They are most likely
concerned with both the quality of the output, as well as the number of
books and such that can be ported around on one cd, rather than having to
carry around many. That's the reason I mentioned in particular the Victor
Reader, although I'm sure that any mp3 player, especially with bookmarking
or recall capability would suffice

Hi,
I appreciate your testomonial for CDs played in the Victor rReader, but I
believe the person asked only about converting files to .mp3, if I'm not
mistaken, to be played on players that use such files. I don't own a Victor
Reader nor do I plan to budget for one, because so much of what I want is
available in ways that are dufficient for my needs. But in any case, it's
nice to know about your method.

Yardbird,
I recently tried and purchased TextAloud, and just love it. I like to copy
files to a cdrw, and listen to them on my Victor Reader Classic. It's
really one of the best buys I've made in a while. The rendering is only as
good as my error correcting job after scanning a document or book with
Openbook. Give it a try, and I think you'll be hooked on this one.
