Angela,
There are a couple of programmes, one is Easiproducer from Dolphin. It
converts text documents into spoken output, though it is in Daisy format.
The speech is artificial but it records one page in about 5 seconds. The
daisy format is useful for student material as you can put in different
levels for quick access.
The other programme is similar but a little more sophisticated.
Hope this helps.
Ray

Subject: [access-uk] Text to audio transcription?
i work for a local visually impaired society, and one of our service users
has asked us if we can put some course materials (around 50 pages worth of
notes produced by the various students in different fonts etc with
diagrams) onto an audio cd only. He says his computer is ancient and he
can't use it any more, and doesn't want tape because he is worried it will
wear out and snap after repeated plays , rewinding and fast forwardingetc.
Nobody at work seems to know the best way to tackle this problem, but i
am determined to do what I can to help- please PM if you want more info,
or can tell me how to progress- we do have reasonable access to equipment
that can help, but not at present, large scale transcription
equipment....Sorry for being stupid....hope you can advise a bit.
