TextRecorder

It records either WAV or MP3 files which you can transfer to a portable player to listen to anywhere The TextRecorder application was designed to read text and save the text as audio file. It records either WAV or MP3 files which you can transfer to a portable player to listen to anywhere.

You can get through all your computer-based reading, even when you are not at the computer. You can listen to electronic books, web pages, email and other text-based documents on your pocket MP3 player. While listening, you can commute, cook, exercise or just relax.

TextRecorder is also for print-impaired students and the people who help them who cannot afford high-priced access technology. If you have a learning or visual disability, and want to quickly read lots of e-text, TextRecorder costs nothing and will enable the computer to read to you. If you create audio textbooks for print-impaired students, TextRecorder can batch the process.

Here are some key features of "TextRecorder":

Completely Standard. TextRecorder uses ordinary Windows controls. All of its menus, buttons and dialog boxes are fully accessible to screen reader users. Unlike many modern Windows programs, TextRecorder was designed originally for a blind user and has been thoroughly tested with JAWS.

Simple and Small. TextRecorder uses only about 235 kilobytes of your disk space, so there's room for it on even a crowded laptop hard drive. Unlike similar software, it doesn't clutter up your system tray with extra icons or add unwanted bells and whistles to other applications.

Single-Purpose. TextRecorder turns e-text into audio. It doesn't read the screen, surf the web or show you the definitions of words. It's easy to use because there just isn't a whole lot to learn.

Requirements:

Microsoft Speech engine SAPI version 5.1
