Re: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio?
Hello Ann, In OB 7, it's an option under the file menu save to audio. You have the option to save a page range or single page and you can save to either wav, or mp3 format. It may take a few minutes or hours, depending on the document size. Kurzweil has more options, like changing bitrates and to write to a cd.

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.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Automating data from web to Excel
I just had a look in IE. There doesn't seem to be a macro feature in Internet Explorer but I think it could be done from Excel. I'll have a look in a day or two, the opportunity sounds interesting.

Re: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio?
Tim, Did you get the demo directly from Freedom Scientific? I notice on their site they do offer a demo. That is one expensive piece of software ($995.00) Is the demo fully functioning? How long does it last? thanks Al -Original Message- From: jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com]on Behalf Of Tim Appleby Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 8:25 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio? 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. - Original Message - From: Ann M.

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. - Original Message - From: David. chatten-smith davechsm...@hotmail.com To: jaws users group jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Tuesday, April 13, 2010 4:56 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio?

Re: [JAWS-Users] converting pdf files to audio?
Yes, I had the demo directly from FS but, I didn't get the actual program because of the expense of it. It would be a little more for us Canadians because the import would be quite expensive.
