Scott, You can use the "Text Import" feature of the PRS software to create a DAISY audio file. By carefully adjusting the synthesizer speed and the phrase detection time, you can pretty much get the process to split phrases by sentences and paragraphs.
You do, however, have to then go through the audio and put in your section headings and set them to the desired navigation level. Does anyone out there know if the Kurzweil 1000 DAISY features allow you to convert a text file to MP3 format and at the same time retain the Heading 1, Heading 2, Heading 3 structures etc if they were in the original text e.g. styles in a Word document? This might save a good bit of time if it does this well. Cheers, Jamie -----Original Message----- From: Scott Blanks [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 15 August 2004 05:52 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: converting scanned material Hi again everyone, What is the most efficient way to scan text and then convert it to an audio format to be played on the Plextalk? Open Book has an mp3 feature, but it doesn't seem that the end result would be very navigable because it would be one big mp3 file ... or several if you decided to break it up.
